🐄 Because Tomorrow is Eid... 🎉 I couldn't just commit code — I had to commit to a cow.
While you're deploying apps, I'm deploying livestock. While you're pushing to main, I'm pushing hay to a very judgmental bovine.
Yes, tomorrow is Eid, and I bought a cow. And not just any cow — this one moo-ved my heart and inspired my repo structure.
Now featuring:
CAD files shaped like beefy dreams 🛠️
Rotary encoders spinning faster than uncles after 3 cups of Eid tea ☕
More moo than you can git pull 🐄
| Feature | Fusion 360 CAD | Cow | Reality Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shape | Perfectly parametric, clean curves | Curves? More like squiggles & wobbles | Fusion 360 tries to model squiggles; cow just wobbles for fun! |
| Behavior | Obeys every command, no complaints | Randomly moos, eats grass, naps a lot | Cow wins in chill vibes; Fusion 360 wins in “do what I say.” |
| Flexibility | Can stretch or compress with a click | Stretches? Only when someone calls dinner time | CAD models obey physics; cows obey hunger. |
| Sound | Silent unless you count your keyboard | Loud moos, occasional tail swishes | Sorry Fusion 360, cows have better volume control. |
| Energy consumption | Requires electricity & caffeine | Eats grass, naps, and still looks majestic | Cow is the original eco-friendly machine. |
| Rotary involvement | Rotates perfectly on digital axes | Tail rotates randomly, usually to swat flies | Cow’s rotary = natural antenna; CAD rotary = pure precision. |
Stretch Goals (because why not?) Design a cow-shaped Eid lantern with Fusion 360 — because everyone needs a glowing moo at night.
Create a rotary encoder that controls the volume of a virtual cow’s moo. Extra points for adding echo! 🐄🎶
Animate a Fusion 360 model that “stretches” like a cow trying to reach the last bite of grass.
Used KMK but have not decided yet.
