Welcome to Stax by Learners' World!

Stax allows you to place cubes in three-dimensional space and then see what the resulting shape looks like.

Data:
In the box on the left, enter a list of points in 3-D space, one per line. Each line should be a triplet of three numbers, separated by commas. For example: 1,3,2 (which would mean in the first position on the x-axis, the 3rd position on the y-axis and the 2nd position on the z-axis.

You may put comments anywhere you like, either on separate lines or at the end of lines. Comments start with two forward slashes: //

Dimensions:
The blocks are layed out in three dimensions. The x axis--represented by the first coordinate--goes to the right and slightly 'down' or 'toward you'. The y axis--represented by the second coordinate--goes 'back' and to the right. Finally, the z axis goes straight up.

Example:
In the following example, there are three blocks stacked at (x,y) position (1,1). These are the first three lines listed. Notice how the third number--the z axis--goes from 1 to 2 to 3. Similarly, there are three blocks stacked at position (2,1), and just a single block at position (3,1).
