Vim³ is a novelty application that renders a fully functional Vim editor on the surface of a spinning 3D cube, built in Nim on top of paravim. It embeds a real copy of Vim, so it works as an actual editor despite being a joke project.

Use cases

  • run vim on a spinning 3d cube
  • try a novelty vim editor
  • demo opengl rendering with nim
  • use vim as a real editor in 3d
  • show off a fun terminal editor hack

When to choose

  • you want a fun, working Vim rendered in 3D as a demo or gag
  • you want to see Nim and OpenGL used to embed a real editor

When to avoid

  • you need a serious daily-driver editor without gimmicks
  • you need a maintained, feature-rich Vim distribution
  • you can't tolerate a permanently spinning cube
