I love computer programming! github.com/jdan/ansi_sh...
a desktop computer with a number of windows 1. Figma with "spritsheets" of Japanese input for Pokemon Blue and The Legend of Zelda for inspiration 2. A console output for `bin/banner サーティワン` and ASCII art style output 3. A pixel editor for the katakana character ェ 4. The neovim editor for a file called "katakana.rb" with the following code visible: XE = AnsiShadow::Glyph.from_mono <<~TEXT.chomp ████████ ██ ██ ██████████ TEXT XYO = AnsiShadow::Glyph.from_mono <<~TEXT.chomp ████████ ██ ████████ ██ ████████ TEXT Dakuten = AnsiShadow::Glyph.from_mono <<~TEXT.chomp █ █ █ █ TEXT
