iso - source - built with processing
Shortly after a study in the joy of smashing, a study in isometric graphics ends up becoming something about the loveliness of building. Use the mouse to move the cursor, the button drops blocks. Space clears, 'M' makes the bricks' 'mortar' visible or invisible. (Prettier hidden, in my opinion.)

The origin of myths is explained in this way."(Yes, 2 quotationspage.com qotd in a row. Sosumi.)
