ASCII Rotating Galaxy

is an interactive ASCII animation that lets you create a wide range of rotating shapes, from galaxies and spirals to abstract spinning patterns. Use the sliders to change the number of arms, stars, speed, size, twist, noise and glow, and watch the animation transform in real time. Pause the motion to admire a still frame, then tweak the settings again to discover new ASCII formations.
