Sorry to reply to my own message so much, but I keep finding ways to reduce
my sig (Thanks, Francois!)

I took the whole union/scale off and shaved another 15 characters off of it.
Because it was scaling the whole thing, the perpective does not change when
you unscale it...

We all do.  Now, we'll just have to see what Warp and Wlodimierz can come up 
with!  ;)

You're welcome.

  This didn't quite preserve your fancy variable naming, but at least it's
a bit shorter:

light_source{0,1}#macro H(A,R,T,Y,W)box{<W,R-.5,6><W+.1Y-.5,7>}box{<A,W-.5,

Nice.
BTW: It is a common sport in this forum to shorten other people's sigs:

light_source{0 1}union{#macro G(H,I)box{<F,-H-.5,6><F+.1I-.5,7>}#end#macro

Nice to know somebody remember my name :-)

Adjust it to your favorite line length:

light_source#macro _(n,P)box{P/2+z*7P/2+(n>0?<n.1>:<.1n>)+z*6pigment{rgb 1}}
#end{0on-y}_(-4y*5)_(2.1<-4,5>)_(-3<-4,5>)_(2y*-3)_(1<-2on>)_(-2<2,3>)_(-3<4

I could not find a main page for the short code contest.
Will there be an other round some time?

There was no main page for this contest. Greg only announced it here, in
povray.general, by posting urls to dedicated pages.

> Will there be an other round some time?

There already was second round but results were never published. As usually well
designed query shows its urls: http://news.povray.org/search/?s=shortest :-)

the former for the people revising, the latter for the people submitting the
damn things. Enjoyable sadism or maschocism depending on which side of the
fence you're on.
