ABOUT

This is a straightforward ASCII spinning donut implemented in C. Inspired by Andy Sloane (a1k0n) original donut.c from 2006. While it requires some understanding of mathematics, it remains a compact and relatively easy project, especially when following a guide. There are two available versions: one utilizing a math library and another without it.
