Show HN: Rotating torus in terminal (but with kitty graphics protocol)
Hi HN,
I'm taking Computer Graphics @ Stanford this summer and wanted to express some very simple concepts I had in mind. That's why I wrote a rotating torus in C. Going from writing a ray-tracer that works in Blender to pure C with no dependencies feels relaxing. Wanted to try Kitty Graphics Protocol on the way, rendering images in terminal felt cool.
Open to comments and suggestions.
- pekim 2mo agoThe torus.c file start with this include directive. #include <_time.h> I'm not sure what that header file is, but commenting it out allowed for a clean compile for me

It's super-intuitive because everything's a circle. The equation for calculating volume is beautiful, and figuring it out is fun. Just thinking about a wave equation for the graphic is interesting
