Hmm, that one says, "Copyright(C).Yusuke Endoh, 2010" The author of this one apparently forgot to give credit.

It looks to be a different implementation.

aside from the implementation being completely different and therefore not in violation of copyright, it would be difficult to give credit for something like this where every character is strategically placed.

Reminds me of the old 1992 winner of the IOCCC by Brian Westley (who consistently entered some of the most impressive programs in that contest). It doesn't spin, but it prints a map of the provided lat/long. http://www.ioccc.org/1992/westley.hint main(l ,a,n,d)char**a;{ for(d=atoi(a[1])/10*80- atoi(a[2])/5-596;n="@NKA\ CLCCGZAAQBEAADAFaISADJABBA^\ SNLGAQABDAXIMBAACTBATAHDBAN\ ZcEMMCCCCAAhEIJFAEAAABAfHJE\ TBdFLDAANEfD…

There is another program arranged in a similar circular shape that calculated pi experimentally using it's own source code as the circle to test.

Tickmarks don't work here, you need to indent by two spaces.

Yup--that's a great one. And it too is by Brian Westley...

Personally, I find your comment less readable than TFA.

Whoops, I used backticks instead of spaces to mark it as code.
