Short Intro Challenge - 3Din20

[Tetra]

So i wanted to attempt something 3D. Its only made up of dots and wasnt what I started out to make heheÃ,   <- love this pic
The dots are colored and sized based on the depth and the circles blend together using or.

To get it down in line size I nested the for next loops together. Blitz is happy with this but not sure about the rulezÃ,

Like this one too. Heh

[Tetra]

Tnx Optimus

I couldnt leave it alone so I made another variation called 3Din20(2)Ã,  

There are more potential spare lines in this one, so I could compact it down fiuther if the nested loops arent ok.

wow didnt know you could do that without the : seperator, could squish down alot more routines into 20 lines doing that

[Optimus]

Wow. I like the last one! It's a nice way to fake a filled vector in few space, sometimes looks like gouraud shading and sometimes like a translucent or depth cube! In fact that's the way some 256b asm intros do 3d polygoned objects which are not really polygons via this way, because it's not really easy to fit a triangle rasterizer in small space. I remember these were blitting smaller boxes and had z-buffer so it wasn't much noticable.

[Shockwave]

The second one is better than the first, but when I saw the fist I was like, WOW! I didn't think anyone would get a 3D cube into 20 lines.
Nice one Tetra
Btw, this entry is perfectly legal, nesting loops is a nice way of getting the lines down.

[Tetra]

  thanx

(Sorry my host has gone down, will sort it shortly)

[Tetra]

Hehe, sry to keep bumping my postÃ,  

Another version now that changes the size of the rect based on the z value, which lets me zoom it in and outÃ,  

Still 20 lines and i've added some comments

[Rbz]

Nice one, congratulations for doing a 3D effect !

[Optimus]

Eeekk,. binary bitte! KTHXBYE 

[Shockwave]

Tetra, that last version is the best of the 3 by far You should definately upload an exe of it.

[Tetra]

  guys. Exe and code uploaded.
