  Lol the AGENTS.md:> NO Co-Authored-By: Claude trailer. > NO " Generated with Claude Code" footer in PR bodies, commit messages, issue comments, or anywhere else.I actually have a much better idea how to use AI responsibly: Simply don't use Claude to completely vibe code AND COMMIT your code.There is no doubt in my mind that this is vibe-coded, in the bad sense, because of this line. There is no workflow that lets Claude write code AND commit, without PRs, that includes review by a human.This is not the HN I signed up for. I don't mind AI use, responsible AI use, but zero oversight has not worked and will not work.

  That is very cool, dare I say impressive (at least in my opinion). Folks need to ease up a little I think.

  What’s up with filtering of clearly low effort AI posts here?Every now and then I see this crap here. And people even engage into discussion. This is ridiculous.

  This is actually pretty awesome. I enjoyed going through all the models.I'm also not sure why I love ASCII art so much. Maybe it's because it's such an abstract way to represent something, yet our brains make perfect sense of everything.The shading is where it all comes to life.What is the file size of one single model on average?

  > No WebGLWhy is this an advantage? I have a GPU and I'd rather it was used. As-is, one of my CPU cores is pegged at 100% just rendering the landing page.

  Is there a good reason not to use WebGL to render the scene and compute the character mapping? Even if you're dead set on outputting text to a `<pre>` you could write the ascii values out to a framebuffer and copy from that for a pretty significant speedup.

  Cool. I also had similar idea: https://github.com/surenenfiajyan/3d.js . But your one looks richer in features.

  Is it like a filter on top of graphical 3D rendering or is everything rasterized in ascii from the basics?

  Seeing some of your rendered 3D models in ASCII glyphs reminded me of 3D pixelated video games. It is really cool, but I fail to see its applications.

  Wow. Where was this in the 90s when I "needed" it.Is there a console version?

• ofabioroma
  Absolutely incredible

  I understand this was probably vibe-coded, but it's still a lot of fun. Well done!
• codingconstable
  Thats fantastic. Someone make a video game using it
