Info

cubeascii is a api written in Node.js with Express.js.

cubeascii is based off of cube.c by @servetgulnaroglu

Each time you make a HTTP request, the cubeascii api will display a frame from a 3D animation of a cube spinning in ASCII art.

In order to make an animation out of this you would need to make a HTTP GET request with cURL to https://cubeascii.netlify.app every 0.02 seconds which is why it's recommended to automate the requests.

Automation

In order to make an animation out of this, you can simply run this command in your terminal:

done
