Hi, all. I am the blog post author, blown away by the attention this 1-day hack is getting! I am the author of Findings, a lab notebook app for scientists. Check it out and show it to others: http://findingsapp.com
I also created this page: http://asciimage.org, with my friend @mz2. There is a simple editor as well called ASCIImage Super Studio.
I didn't quite understand how the single points worked. It seemed to me that your definition for, say, 3 single points was the same as a triangle. How does it know which is which? Or do the curves have to be closed?
I think I was thrown off by the example which used 1,1,1,1 for the sphere and 2, 3 to represent isolated points. But they're consecutive. Unless I'm missing something?
