donut.live

A tribute to parrot.live. Here it is in donut form.

Demo - Try It

curl donut.rustychads.com

Description

HTTP server that distributes frames of a rotating donut to every curl client.

• The program can also be provided a custom GIF file (via the --gif flag). In this case, each frame from the GIF will be automatically converted into ASCII art. These frames will then be distributed with a frame rate based on the original delay of each frame. If the delay of each frame isn't properly set, then a manual frame rate is required. This can be fixed with the --fps flag.

Todo

• Improve trim_frames by removing all possible redundant ASCII-whitespace from every frame.

Notes

• This works for terminals that support ANSI Escape Sequences.

• The gen_frame function within util.rs heavily references the original donut.c script.
