Frequently asked questions

How is Motion art drawn?

Each 3D shape is lit and depth-tested, then every cell is filled with a character that matches its brightness. The spinning donut follows the same idea as the famous donut.c program, and every frame is drawn on your device.

Can I send the animation in Discord or a chat app?

Save GIF creates a seamless looping GIF you can post anywhere. Share link lets others play the same artwork with your color and speed.

Can I paste it into a terminal or README as text?

Copy frame gives you the current scene as plain text. Paste it in a code block or another monospaced font to keep its shape. To keep the movement, save a GIF.

Can I make ASCII animation from my own GIF?

Motion art plays ready-made artworks. To convert your own GIF, use the GIF to ASCII converter, and for photos, use the image to ASCII converter.
