3D code analysis

No problem. If the cloud shifts here, I'll be out looking for it.

Anyone ever seen (or written themselves) a program that analyzes some source code (doesn't matter what language) and then produces some sort of 3D result? I'm not sure what the result would actually be but I would suspect that some interesting patterns would show up. I'm looking for something like this and was just curious if anyone else has thought of this.

I sometimes print out my code, especially when it was for homework, and then put the pages in a pile and staple them together to maintain the sort order. That also makes it 3D and I can then do an analysis without looking at the screen.

No, not him, he's a complete nut job, always going on and on about this 3D crap. No, there's got to be something else... :rolleyes:

I wish I had some of that modelling skill, even at the price of being considered crazy. The way it is, I can write good 3D code and nobody really gives a damn because my models look too tacky :)

Are there really any good 3D visualizations out there for much of anything? I'm not sure we are all that good at processing 3D data. I can't really think of anything that isn't more than 2D with perspective. If there is, then I'm sure you can find something on Visual Complexity[^], or http://www.visualizing.org/[^]

Probably not. I was necessarily thinking practically. See my latest post [^]- is that something you might be interested in?

Hence the suggestion to see a doctor! The poor guy could end up exploding his frontal lobes from the sheer strain of trying to pass a 24ct nugget!

This may not be technically exactly like what you described, but it is in the same vein: 'Tilt' Firefox plugin[^] I tried it out, it's pretty neat. Helps to visualize the layers of markup containers and elements in the DOM of a particular webpage. Cheers!

I can see it right in front of me: the app analyzes a program full of bugs and renders it in 3D like a scene from Starship Troopers. Now, if I can have a 3D version of Denise Richards helping me shoo... err fix the bugs, that would be :cool: At the very least it would be a great improvement to Clippy ;)

Sounds cool. I can see it having some benefit if you were trying to perform analytics on it, e.g. comparing KLOCS I/L to KLOCS of code and manipulating down to the individual method level.

Yeah, the code should look like those images from the movie 'Hackers' ! Lemmee fire up my Flight Simulator and take a drive around it... :laugh:

Sounds like a Windows Media Player visualisation. If you can design and/or write one which is actually useful, we'll happily integrate it into Visual Lint. ;P

:) Thanks, but I was hoping to find something out there. I'm not really sure what would even make sense.

No worries. :) Seriously though - if you can think of a way of presenting data which would help you to visualise the results (not an easy task we know), we're happy to have a crack at implementing something - at least as a proof of concept.

what would the 3 axis represent? Memory usage, cpu time, clock time? or i suppose you could start with a 2D UML diagram and then simply extrude out a shape on the 3rd axis by a single variable, such as a class diagram with height of class blocks determined by lines of code (which in turn could be 'displaced' by lines of code in each method).
