The ascii 3d renderer is only able to render polygons. For all polygons
the visible parts of edges are drawn. There is no way to draw lines or
circles (this would mean I have to write a different 3d-engine).
However, resolution is a great problem for realistic looking 3d objects
in ascii. It is ok with simple objects like a cube:
.. (wireframe) ....

':'' : '''... : : : ..:
'. : ...'' : : ...'''
'. : ...''' :: ...'''
'.: ...''' :...''' (solid)
':.'''
The Jave logo is not very complex, but already almost too complex for my
renderer. The result is not that good when rendering it to a small size
like that:
.':.
..... .' .''.
.':.. :''''''...:.: .' .' .'
'.'::.:::::::.''''': .' .'
'..'::. '..'
'': '''''':::.

::.: '''' : : : : :
'. : : '''''
.':::''''''''''' ....
.'.' :........ .: ':.'.
'.'..' :. '''':': '. :.'.
' '''''''::.''' '. ':.:
'..'
Rendered in a higher resolution mode:
,'-.
___,.._ _' ,'-,
/'\--_ +-''' __| \ / ,' ,-
`\ '\ . - :::==..-"\ - _'
-.,"= \ _____ ' _,

_\ | | `---'
,-` = '`-----^-'' ,/-\
- ,' / . ==\....._ : '\ `.
\ _,' L_ ''| | \ '\ `.
'' '''----. -' `. `
`.,-
BTW: I use the generic shape algorithms (the green buttons in Jave) for
drawing the lines. It is no good idea to use Jave's - non generic - line
algorithm for drawing them - this will end in a much worse result.
For writing a 3D game I would rather suggest to use predefined parts for
drawing a labyrinth background etc.
Let us continue this discussion after the new release of Jave (still
scheduled for tomorrow, but hard work).
