Well I couldn't resist extending the source code for my city picture to inclue
all the things I wanted to put in but couldn't fit into 256 bytes of code. So
here's the not-very-short-code version.
Compared to the short one, I've increased the isosurface accuracy, added some
birds in the distance, and put a windows texture on which allows different
window styles on different buildings. And those small changes have more than
doubled the amount of code!
Hope you like it!

Only 512+epsilon bytes for this scene is still impressive, IMHO...

Most impressive!

Neat. But...it looks more familiar, so you can see the flaws (or at
least differences from any city on Earth) more easily. The first one
just looked alien or super-futuristic...familiar enough to be recognized
as a city, but so different that any flaws weren't perceived as
such...at least by me. This...well, the roofs look funny. It looks much
like a present-day city, but there should be objects on the roofs,
raised portions near the edges, varying textures...it didn't look odd
for the first one, but it looks odd here.
Still...very, very impressive effect, especially given the tiny amount
of code used. Nice sky...I like the birds, too.

Yeah, that's my thoughts too. The other one was really impressive because it was
256 bytes, but this version is much less so because it should now be compared to
any other povray city image (I can think of at least 2 good ones by Gilles!) and
it really doesn't compare well.

Thank you, I'm very pleased with them :)
BTW, the birds are actually little flying curly brackets: }}}

BTW, you can make it shorter by using pattern functions instead,
eliminating the need for the .x's:
#macro C()function{pattern{crackle#end#local A=C()solid}}#local
B=C()}}isosurface{function{max(2+y*9-A(x*9,0,z*9)*4,.2-B(x*9,0
,z*9))/99}finish{reflection{0,1}}}fog{rgb 1+y/5+z/3distance.7
fog_type 2fog_alt.1}sky_sphere{pigment{agate}}sphere{9*(.6-y),5}
It also renders faster...

Nice...I think I saw curly bracket used as birds somewhere else, though
they were large and close up so you could see what they were.
Oh, I came up with a way to get sloped roofs on the
buildings...basically, make a pigment function with a solid crackle
pigment_map of multiple random gradients. Scale the crackle pattern
really big along the y axis so it's essentially 2D and won't interfere
with the sides of your buildings, and just add the result to your
isosurface function. Still working on getting it completely right...

This is, like, the most clever thing I think I've ever read :-)
