Making a physical doughnut is easy enough, given a good dough recipe and a nice hot deep fat fryer. But have you ever considered making a one in physical electronic hardware, on an ASIC? [A1k0n] has, at least in terms of making a virtual doughnut. It’s a hardware implementation of a ray tracer which renders a rotating doughnut to a VGA screen, and it comes courtesy of around 7000 logic cells on the latest iteration of Tiny Tapeout.

    I did something like this before. I programmed an FPGA to output VGA signals showing some rotating 3D objects on the screen.
