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.
