sastantua @ 42 - pyramid generator

sastantua @ 42

Allosimanius Syneca is a planet noted for ice, snow, mind-hurtling beauty and
stunning cold. The view from the top of the Ice Crystal Pyramids of Sastantua
is widely known for its ability to release the observer’s mind to hitherto
unexperienced horizons of beauty.

This is one of the numerous projects done during the 42 piscine in July 2015. It was completed in a week and can display fancy pyramids in ASCII that follow a simple set of rules. The objective was to recreate the output of a given binary perfectly.

The unix utility diff was useful when testing.

Compiling

The project currently only has the functions for generating the pyramid. To compile, you will need a main. Assuming you have a working libft:

#include "libft.h"

int	main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	if (argc < 2)
		return 0;

	sastantua(ft_atoi(argv[1]));
}

Alternatively, you can replace ft_atoi with the standard atoi implementation (using stdlib.h instead).

Usage

Compiling this into a sastantua executable, you get:

$ ./sastantua 3
