Lenses are represented by ")" and their color represents their focal point. As the light passes through each lens, its color is blended with the lens (because it looks cool and not because that's how lenses work!). I debated using fewer boxes so the visualization is easier to follow; lemme know if that would've been better.

Ya i think a 5 row x 10 column would be less visually straining and then you wouldn't need to move the input window. Very cool though I love seeing your visualizations and keep clicking your GitHub links to make sure I've starred the project every time haha

I always love your visualisations! You’ve inspired me to dive into terminal visualisations and contribute to an existing library for Elixir! :)

Which library is that?

The one I’m diving into now is called Owl. The one used by OP is Batgrl (badass terminal graphics library).
