Study Notes
- A spinning ASCII donut is shown on the left and a donut-shaped C code on the right.
- The C code generates the spinning donut using rotation matrices and projection onto a 2D screen.
- The code also adds illumination by calculating surface normal and light source.
- Different characters are used to represent different levels of luminance in the ASCII world.
- The code can be compiled and run to generate the spinning donut animation.
- The donut's parameters, such as field of view and distance from viewer, can be controlled.
- The author spends an hour every day exploring different topics and finds beauty in them.
- They plan to create more videos about topics in machine learning, math, computer science, psychology, biology, physics, history, and philosophy.
- The author recommends checking out Andy Sloan's blog post on the math behind the spinning Taurus.
- The link to the blog post is provided in the video's description.
