code-talk: sphere intersecting a plane

code-talk: sphere intersecting a plane

My NEW obfuscated c code signature. This is not ascii-art
per say, but it does generate an ascii-art movie.

It's output is a sphere intersecting a plane. The image is
a little rough in places, and I am considering a different
shading, but overall I am quite happy. This program assumes
a vt100. It could be adapted to other terminals fairly
easily, if you know what to modify.

This was inspired by a guy with a piece of signature code to
generate a full screen ascii mandelbrot.
