Spinning Donut 🍩

Welcome to the spinniest piece of ASCII art you'll ever see. Inspired by that legendary video of the Russian coder caught in an altercation mid-hack, this project is an homage to both retro coding and the beloved demo scene. 🤘

What Is It?

A self-contained C program that renders a 3D spinning donut in your terminal! Sure, it's just ASCII characters and math, but it's a party on your screen.

How to Build

Using GCC (Linux/macOS/WSL)

1. Open your terminal and navigate to the repo directory.

2. Compile & run:

   make && ./donut

Using cl.exe (Windows)

1. Open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio.
2. Navigate to the repo folder:

   cd path\to\repo

3. Build with:

   build.bat

   or manually:

   cl /O2 donut.c

4. Run:

   donut.exe

One-Liner to Set CMD.exe Window Size

If CMD.exe is cutting off the donut, run the .\tools\setsize.cmd script, or copy and paste this into the Run dialog (Win+R) or a terminal:

cmd /k mode con: cols=80 lines=25 & donut.exe

This ensures the console is sized correctly before launching the spinning masterpiece.

Bonus Idea: Add Sound!

Why not make the donut program play a beep sound every time it spins? Modify donut.c to include:

#include <windows.h>  // Windows beep
Beep(500, 50); // Frequency 500Hz, Duration 50ms

For Linux/macOS, use:

system("echo -e '\a'");

💡 This will make the donut *bloop* as it spins, creating a cursed ASMR experience.

What else is here?

• CHANGELOG.md - Because even meme projects need version history.
• memes/ folder: A collection of memes inspired by that epic coding moment.
• tools/ folder: Contains a tool to convert MP4s to GIFs using ffmpeg because why not?
• tools/setsize.cmd - A script to auto-set the correct CMD.exe dimensions.
