                    aa3d - An ASCII art stereogram generator

                       "New dimension for ASCII art"

The AA-project releases a so called technology demo for its new 3D stereogram
technology (ASCII-3D-2000). It uses the well known and popular random dot
stereograms in ASCII art (try to see the example above). This technology will
be soon included into the mainstream AA-lib release (planned for new AA-lib 99).
The Code is completely year 2000 compliant now and unicode support is coming soon!
Separate teams are working on hardware acceleration chips to be released before
the year 2000.

Features
========

 o High quality ASCII art stereogram rendering
 o Highly configurable
 o User friendly command line interface (including full online help)
 o Year 2000 compliant

Download
========

The original aa3d-1.0.tar.gz is available from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aa-project/files/aa3d/1.0/aa3d-1.0.tar.gz

Or get the code from:

https://sourceforge.net/p/aa-project/code/

Usage
=====

aa3d is a standalone program to convert simple text file 3D maps to a
stereogram.

The input file should look a bit like this:

The three goals of the AA-Project:

  1. Port all important software (like Doom, Second Reality, X window
     etc.) to AA-lib.

  2. Port AA-lib to all available platforms (mainly ZX-Spectrum and
     Sharp).

  3. Force IBM to start manufacturing MDA cards again.

AA-project was started by Jan Hubicka. Back then just a few
people knew about it. Then a new demo named BB has been released to show
the power of the AA-lib technology. Now the project is freely available and
anyone can help.
