A Ziggurat is an Ancient Religious Structure Found in Mesopotamia Made of brick Religious purposes
Coding the Main Body Ziggurat=cube(100,10,100); for(i=1;i<=9;i=i+1) { stairs=cube(100-7.5*i,10,100-7.5*i).move(0,i*5,0); Ziggurat = Ziggurat.add(stairs); } Simple for loop Made the stacking boxes
Coding the Stairway strairStrip=cube(10,117,10).rotateX(-36).move(0,0,48); g3=cube(200,100,200).move(0,-55,0); strairStrip=strairStrip.subtract(g3); Ziggurat = Ziggurat.add(strairStrip); The stair strip 2 Booleans used
Coding the Top //Top portion topSphere=sphere(10).move(0,50,0); Ziggurat = Ziggurat.add(topSphere) topPillar1=cube(5,10,5).move(13.75,55,13.75); topPillar2=cube(5,10,5).move(13.75,55,-13.75); topPillar3=cube(5,10,5).move(-13.75,55,-13.75); topPillar4=cube(5,10,5).move(-13.75,55,13.75); Ziggurat = Ziggurat.add(topPillar1).add(topPillar2); Ziggurat = Ziggurat. add(topPillar3).add(topPillar4); Last fancy additions to the top Simple Cubes and a sphere
Final Code Ziggurat=cube(100,10,100); for(i=1;i<=9;i=i+1) { stairs=cube(100-7.5*i,10,100-7.5*i).move(0,i*5,0); Ziggurat=Ziggurat.add(stairs); } strairStrip=cube(10,117,10).rotateX(-36).move(0,0,48); g3=cube(200,100,200).move(0,-55,0); strairStrip=strairStrip.subtract(g3); Ziggurat=Ziggurat.add(strairStrip); topSphere=sphere(10).move(0,50,0); Ziggurat=Ziggurat.add(topSphere) topPillar1=cube(5,10,5).move(13.75,55,13.75); topPillar2=cube(5,10,5).move(13.75,55,-13.75); topPillar3=cube(5,10,5).move(-13.75,55,-13.75); topPillar4=cube(5,10,5).move(-13.75,55,13.75); Ziggurat=Ziggurat.add(topPillar1).add(topPillar2); Ziggurat=Ziggurat.add(topPillar3).add(topPillar4); Ziggurat.rotateX(90).rotateZ(90); Ziggurat.display();
