🍩 ASCII Torus Renderer | A Spiraling 3D Donut in Pure Python

This project renders a fully rotating 3D torus (donut) inside your terminal using nothing but Python, NumPy, trigonometry, and raw ASCII characters.
It’s a tiny experiment in parametric surfaces, Euler-angle rotation, depth buffering, and terminal-based shading—all wrapped into one hypnotic spiraling animation.

🧠 What’s Happening Here?

The donut is generated using the parametric equations of a torus, rotated through two independent angles A and B, then projected onto a 2D terminal grid using a handmade perspective model:

• Parametric geometry: (R + cos(i)) * cos(j)
• Euler rotations: applied across X and Z axes
• Depth buffer: prevents far-side glyphs from overwriting near ones
• ASCII luminance ramp: gives the illusion of lighting and curvature

In short:
Real math. Fake graphics card. Very real donut. hehe
