## Try:
|
||||
|
||||
Try to figure out how this program prints, for a given slope, the
|
||||
right character. And for extra credit, try to figure out which
|
||||
character is at the bottom on this hint file. :-)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./horton 3 2 1 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This confuses cb greatly. See horton.alt.c for an unobfuscated/enhanced
|
||||
version. To run this alternate version:

### Alternative code:

make horton.alt

Run it with any 4 numeric arguments, e.g. prog 3 2 1 0. Play with the
|
||||
numbers to get a pleasing result, or use it for your high school algebra
|
||||
class.

As should be obvious from 20 feet away, the program is a cubic plotter.
|
||||
It plots against certain artists, splattering their cubes with graphs
|
||||
of their cubic equations. Those dastardly arguments are mere coefficients,
|
||||
cogs in the wheels of the grand plot to overthrow the cubics!

Oh, by the way, it uses a self-contained graphtab and frame buffer.
|
||||
It's easily modified to graph *any* 96x160 bitmap on a dumb terminal.
