# Info

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

`cubeascii` is based off of [cube.c](https://github.com/servetgulnaroglu/cube.c/tree/master) by [@servetgulnaroglu](https://github.com/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

`](https://cubeascii.netlify.app/) every 0.02 seconds which is why it's recommended to automate the requests.

# Running Locally

To run `cubeascii` locally, you need to follow these instructions:

1. Clone the repo

```bash

git clone https://github.com/linuxfandudeguy/cubeascii.git

```

2. Enter the directory

```bash

cd cubeascii

```

3. Running

```bash

node api/non_deployment_index.js

```

You have now successfully ran `cubeascii` locally.

# Automation

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

```bash

while true; do

    curl https://cubeascii.netlify.app/

    sleep 0.02  # Adjust the sleep time as needed

done

```

## Locally Ran Automation

```bash

while true; do

    curl http://localhost:3000

    sleep 0.02  # Adjust the sleep time as needed

done

```
