Show HN: Rotating torus in terminal (but with kitty graphics protocol)

17 points by deotman 6 days ago

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.

The 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
