Input file

  • Encoding: ASCII.
  • Case insensitive.
  • Empty lines are ignored.
  • Specify width: W immediately followed by an integer.
  • Specify depth: D immediately followed by an integer.
  • Specify height: H immediately followed by an integer.
  • Other lines:
    • Each group of depth lines describes a horizontal layer.
    • There are height × depth lines in total.
    • Bottom layer first.
    • Rear line first within each layer.
    • Each text line starts with |.

  • the dimensions of the building blocks (only the combinations corresponding to minicube-*.png files are allowed; see below)
  • the margins
  • the background color

Other files

  • minicube-WxHxD.png: the cubes used as building blocks; W/H/D are width/height/depth in pixels
