gollark: I did look it up.
gollark: If I actually knew 3D geometry I could probably make it isometric and not somewhat wrongly oblique, but too bad.
gollark: This is now probably good enough maybe.
gollark: I don't actually know how 3D projection is meant to work, so it looks wrong.
gollark: I am adding 3D support.
