Is it dark outside? Draw a sun map!
Haskell - low quality code
I was extremely tired when I wrote this.

I might have gone too far with projections idea, anyway, here's the projection the program uses. Basically like projecting earth onto a cube and then unfolding it. Besides, in this projection, the shadow is made of straight lines.
The program uses current date/time, and outputs a PPM file on stdout.

That's right - triangular where-code, nested cases, invalid IO usage.
