Sorry that it's taken so long for everyone else to reply, but I've only
just had a chance to catch up.

Personally, I thought it was great!

It did help that I was able to predict where the 'ball' was going to go,
so that as my eyes popped out of focus they knew where to focus on
again.

I'd be interested to see more animated 3D ascii stuff.

I don't know if the rest of you appreciated that nearly as much as I
did.  Having created so many ascii sterograms I thought this was
funny.

Ok I have been saving this link since it was posted so that I might
load a GUI and take a look at it.  I load up a GUI and load the page
and I see toons of streaming txt that might be a stereo gram and might
be a crual hoax designed to waist my time by someone targeting me as a
form of retaliation for all of the stereograms I have created.

So I hit the stop button figuring that if it is the real deal I should
be able to stop at any point and get a 3d frame. 

WTF?  It worked, I did see a 3d frame.  In a braced bit of
deturnination I set my eyes into 3d mode and reload the page. 
There it is, exactly as promised, a sterogram movie.  Well a sterogram
clip or loop, not really a movie since there is no plot.  But it
works.  Someone has more time on their hands than me. 

So how was it done?  What software was used?  How much time did it
take?  Why was it done?  Someone (the OP?) please answer these
questions.

What?  You didn't see the plot too?  Sounds to me like you haven't quite
got your eyes focused properly.

Now, I don't want to give too much away, but pay attention to her
brothers house keeper, and compare him to the guy at the funeral
parlour.

there is a bit of code in this message that will do a single pic

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&th=4ecd77e32d94344d&rnum=2

and a simple script could be used to drive it.

there's this style too:

Which is also recalled to me by the alien stereograms thread...

it's plain c. rename it stero.c & tri it again [gcc looks at the extension
to decide if it's a c, c++, object, assembly etc. file.]

It look like that's not the source I got it from - the version I have
saved it a bit different, but I'm pretty sure I got it off'n usenet.
here's my saved version if the renaming doesn't work. It works with
gcc-2.95.3 (Ok, what's up with that #if 1 in randasc()?):



#define DEPTH0  16
#define COLS    79

#include <stdio.h>

main()
    {
    long now;
    int col;
    char m[COLS+1],s[COLS+1];
    int i,e,c;

    /* seed random number generator */

    time (&now);
    srand (now);

    /* print fusion X's */

    for (col = 0; COLS - col >= DEPTH0; col += DEPTH0)
        {
        for (i = 0; i < DEPTH0-1; ++i)
            putchar (' ');
        putchar ('X');
        }
    putchar ('\n');

    /* process input image */

    while (memset(m,'\0',COLS+1),fgets (m, COLS+1, stdin))
        {
        e = 0;
        s[COLS] = 0;
        for(i=0; i<COLS; )
            {
            e = 0;
            while (i >= DEPTH0 && i < COLS &&

 (c = m[i - DEPTH0]) >= '0' && c <= '9')
                {
                e = 1;
                s[i] = s[i-DEPTH0+c-'0'];
                ++i;
                }
            s[i++] = (e || i < DEPTH0) ? randasc() : s[i-DEPTH0];
            }
        puts (s);
        }
    }

randasc()
    {
#if 1
    return ('!'+rand()%92);
#else
    return ('a'+rand()%26);
#endif
    }

Thanks.   That did it.

Hi All,

I wrote the ascii movie stereogram gereator just for fun. It't a little 
php script. Here is the important part. Please mention me, if you copy 
the script.. Feel free to ask further questions..

 > PHP-Code:

function GenerateStereoImage($xPos="", $yPos="") {   // Position of 3D 
object in the movie
   global $FillText, $AStereo, $StereoX, $StereoY, $ImgX, $ImgY, 
$ImgDepth, $RandPattern;

   $StereoArray = $AStereo;

   $XmoveStr=str_repeat('0',min($xPos,$ImgX-$StereoX));
   $XfillStr=str_repeat('0',max(0,$ImgX-$StereoX-$xPos));
   foreach ($StereoArray as $line => $StData) {
      $StereoArray[$line]=$XmoveStr.$StData.$XfillStr;
   }

   $Yfill     = max(0,$ImgY-$StereoY-$yPos);
   $YfillArrT = explode("\n", str_repeat(str_repeat('0',$ImgX)."\n",$yPos));
   array_pop($YfillArrT);
   $YfillArrB = explode("\n", 
str_repeat(str_repeat('0',$ImgX)."\n",$Yfill));
   array_pop($YfillArrB);

   $StereoArray = array_merge($YfillArrT,$StereoArray,$YfillArrB);

   $CharSet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
   if ($RandPattern==0) {
      $Pattern = 
substr(str_repeat($FillText,floor(($ImgDepth*$ImgY)/strlen($FillText))+1),0,$ImgDepth*$ImgY);
   } else {
      $Pattern = 
substr(str_repeat(str_shuffle($CharSet),floor(($ImgDepth*$ImgY)/strlen($CharSet))+1),0,$ImgDepth*$ImgY);
   }

   $AAscii = explode("\n",wordwrap($Pattern,$ImgDepth,"\n",1));

   foreach ($AAscii as $line => $asciitext) {
      $asciitext = substr($asciitext.str_shuffle($CharSet),0,$ImgX);
      for ($i=$ImgDepth; $i<$ImgX; $i++) {
         $Shift=$StereoArray[$line]{$i-$ImgDepth};
	    $Shift=min($Shift,floor($ImgDepth/2)); //limit the sky...
         $asciitext{$i}=$asciitext{$i-$ImgDepth+$Shift};
      }
      $AAscii[$line] = $asciitext;
   }

   return $AAscii;

I am not a PHP person.  More of a bash person.  I can't even figure
out the args.  How would one run this?  Is it "script file" from a
properly set up php or is it some other way?   What does the image
file look like as far as format goes?
