qlobe

This quine was presented at RubyConf by Yusuke Endoh. The globe turns 45 degrees when executed and will come around eight times. You can make it any-degree turn by giving an integer as a command-line argument. The original blog post is located here.

How to run

To run this code just put this line to terminal:

clear; for ((;;)); do for i in {1..360}; do tput cup 0 0; ruby qlobe.rb $i; sleep 0.1; done; done;

This will output globe that will rotate in your terminal:
