Well, not very cryptic, but in 3D Japh I sorta had the ASCII art thing and mapped it onto diffrent characters. If you check it out, you'll see this:
- the DATA line is a bunch of encoded characters, lines are seperated by ; and elements seperated by :
- after that, each element that matches ^0(\d+)$ is like '0' x $1, the other elements are just as is.
- now we have the screen, so we translate that back to the real character set using a tr and print it.
same technique used in 3D JAPH II (animated).. not quite clever too, but I had fun coming up with it.
He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
