LINE - Samples from SAAA 2.0 (Part 2 - 20 K)

· 4 messages · 10 Jun 1994 - 12 Jun 1994
Here are some more goodies from SAAA 2.0 (Scarecrow's ASCII Art
Archive 2.0).
I've included 'From:' lines to tell who emailed or posted the piece(s).
In many cases, the person who sends or posts the art is not the creator.
Unfortunately that information is sometimes lost. The sender's comments are
in quotes, mine are in brackets, and anything else came with the art.
If you see any good pics, send them to: bob...@gagme.wwa.com
Enjoy!

[Someone posted a Winnie the Pooh in response to a request. It was kind of
big, so I did a quickie reduction and reposted it. I asked if someone wanted
to smooth it out a bit. To which...]

I think this is meant to be a projection of a tesseract, the 4D equivalent of
the cube. It consists of 8 cubes, each joined to 6 others by their faces.
A more common, but less symetric projection is:

If you allow the above, extend it to a general case, any given hyper-space isn't likely to be a regular hyper-polyhedron. enough ramblin' speculation for one evening. cheers, cb -- Cyberspace Buddha c...@bga.com --
