That’s a possibility. I was hoping that the core of the library would be generic like pict

Say you could compose ascii tables, or ascii boxes. You could design rooms and stuff

With a tblock-overlay you could even design adventure games in unicode :slightly_smiling_face:

A generic core definitely sounds possible, but it sounds like currently all your use cases and examples are math specific. Going all-in on that might help you avoid the trap of not making the library useful enough for what you actually want to do with it because you’re thinking about hypothetical other projects that you don’t have any plans of getting to soon. Worst case, you can always write a second library later. Making libraries is easy. It’s maintaining them over time that’s the hard part.

That does resonate somewhat indeed :slightly_smiling_face: I’m still hesitant. I’ll think about it. Thanks!
