I made this project inspired by the blog Donut math: how donut.c works and the great video I Coded a 3D Spinning Donut. I built it as part of my journey to learn Go and become a better engineer.
What surprised me the most was is how complex the world of computer graphics is, and how little appreciation I had to the field before this project. All the math required was very fun to learn. I think that once you put a bit of effort, it’s not hard to understand, at least for this project. Thanks to the amazing videos that people make on youtube and the great blog of a1k0n for making learning so accesible.
This project was made with Go with the tcell package.
I will not explain the math because I think I will not be able to do it better than the original blog mentioned above. However, if you need any help, feel free to contact me
If you look at the source code you will notice that there are two directores in cmd: cube3d and square2d. I did it this way to iterate from the most basic up to the 3D spinning cube.
How to run the project
Make sure you have Go installed
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/oliverTuesta/spinning-cube.gitRun the Square 2D
go run ./cmd/square2d
Run the Spinning Cube
go run ./cmd/cube3d
