Talk: Circular Fun

Talk: Circular Fun


Like I mentioned a few weeks ago, there is a very strong possibility
that my internet account will cease to exist as of March 15, 1996.
So, I'll be reposting every ASCII picture I have done since December
1993.  In the majority of cases I kept the entire post instead of
just the pictures.  Here is the first in a series of probably daily
posts...





I extracted this nice looking circle from someone's animation a while
back.  Unfortunately I did not keep the credit:

            ,gm"mg,
           JP     Yh
           O       O
           Yg     jP
            "YbmdY"


I tried to smooth it out a bit more.  This is what came out:


            ,gPPRg,
           dP'   `Yb
           8)     (8
           Yb     dP
            "8ggg8"

It still looks slightly oval but it is very close to a circle.


From that circle I created a small cylinder or log, whatever you
prefer:

                                    ,g8PRg,
                                ,ad8""   `Yb
                            ,ad8""        (8
                        ,ad8""            dP
                    ,ad8""            ,ad8"
                ,ad8""            ,ad8""
            ,gPPR8b           ,ad8""
           dP'   `Yb      ,ad8""
           8)     (8  ,ad8""
           Yb     d888""  Normand
            "8ggg8P"      Veilleux



Then I turned the cylinder into a cigarette:

                                            ,ad88Rg,
                                        ,ad888888888b
                                    ,gPPR888888888888
                                ,ad8""   `Y888888888P
                            ,ad8""        (8888888""
                        ,ad8""            d888""
                    ,ad8""            ,ad8""
                ,ad8""            ,ad8""
            ,gPPR8b           ,ad8""
           dP'   `Yb      ,ad8""
           8)     (8  ,ad8""
           Yb     d888""  Normand
            "8ggg8P"      Veilleux



I then lighted it:


         a,  8a
         `8, `8)                            ,ad88Rg,
          8)  ]8                        ,ad888888888b

        8,  8,          ,ad8""            d888""

           Yb:;;;:d888""  Normand
            "8ggg8P"      Veilleux



And because I don't smoke I turned the cigarette into this:

Hopefully no one will dare flame me because I don't smoke.  I'm
burning to find out though!  Now that's what I call playing with
fire.  Whatever you do, I just wanted to share a little bit of that
spark that lights up my life.
