Using Excel As a 3D Graphics Engine
simoniker writes "Obviously whimsical but slightly mind-blowing — an Eastern European coder has published video and the Excel tables to get full 3D wireframe running in Microsoft Excel. He even has solid polygonal graphics running. This isn't an Easter Egg by the Excel creators. Rather, he's using formulas to output the graphics, using two different methods, and showing all the variables on-screen in real time as the 3D is created."
How is that working for you? Yeah, that's what I thought.
I might be missing the joke and taking this way to seriously
Yes, you are.
On a serious note, let me ask, to what end is this pursuit? Of what practical use is it? Oh, sure, you can do what ever you want in life, but the whole excel thing sounds like something to do when you are bored.
I'm in my 40s now, and time is so precious and I just see something like this as a sad waste. Here's a guy who is obviously intelligent but he devoted an amount of his finite time on planet earth doing something basically useless to himself and others. Were his energies properly "self-directed" think what he could have done for himself!! Think about the lost potential in the form of dedication, intelligence, and time!!!
