donut

Rendering a donut in the terminal using Go and some math.

Idea, math and code stolen from this excellent article

^ this was recorded with a terminal size of 120x240. On a saner terminal, this will look much more pixelated.

Why?

• fun

Improvements

Some improvements from the original in the article:

• Unicode rendering - uses the Unicode full block (U+2588) instead of ASCII characters for better looking renders
• Colors: 256-bit terminal colors are used for better looking grayscale as well as colored donuts!
• Documented and configurable

Usage

• Clone this repo and cd into it
• go run .
• Change some of the configuration (in donut.go) and play with it
• Look at it go!

TODO

• expose configurable parameters as command-line flags
• other shapes?
