BLACK HOLE (Black Hole) · Full Python Source

The complete, runnable Python source code of the ASCII artwork "BLACK HOLE". Run one file and a black hole forms in a window on your screen: a thin circle of light draws itself, a red glow swells around it, the disk opens out to both sides, and after a flash, sparks of light ride the orbits. Everything is made only of letters, numbers and symbols.

The preview above is black_hole.py running live on a computer.
