Release Notes - Version 1.0.0

We are thrilled to announce the first release of ascii-love!

Overview

ascii-love is a terminal-based ASCII art animation that displays a spinning 3D heart. The heart rotates smoothly around both the X and Y axes, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. This project is a unique way to express love through code and art.

Features

• Spinning ASCII Heart: A 3D heart rendered using ASCII characters, rotating around both the X and Y axes.
• Smooth Animation: Efficient rendering techniques minimize flickering for a seamless visual experience.
• Adjustable Rotation Speeds: Easily modify rotation speeds around the axes by adjusting parameters in the code.
• Customizable Screen Size: Adapt the screen dimensions to fit different terminal sizes.

System Requirements

• Operating System: Linux
• Compiler: GCC
• Dependencies: Standard C libraries (math.h, stdio.h, unistd.h)

Installation

Compile the program using the following command:

gcc -o heart heart.c -lm

Usage

Run the executable in your terminal:

./heart

Ensure your terminal window is large enough to accommodate the animation (recommended size: at least 150x40 characters).

Demonstration

Known Issues

• Terminal Flickering: Minor flickering may occur on some systems. This can be mitigated by ensuring your terminal supports ANSI escape codes.
• Performance: Larger screen dimensions may impact performance on older systems.

What's Next

Planned future enhancements include:

• Additional Animations: Implementing more ASCII art shapes and animations.
• Color Support: Introducing color to enhance the visual experience.
• User Controls: Adding runtime options to adjust rotation speeds and other parameters.
