In the code that will be given, fix the aspect ratio issue, where since the characters are taller than they are wide, the projected image is distorted vertically.
Code:
```c
/* Implementation of a simple rasterized 3D renderer in pure C without external dependencies.
   This application is single-threaded and draws only triangles to the terminal.
   Shades are determined by brightness related to a light source and drawn as ASCII characters.
   Colors are fully supported through the extended palette of the terminal.
   This program only uses standard ISO C99 code. */
