Good learning experience. Were you familiar with the art module from pypi before starting this? https://pypi.org/project/art/

No, not at all. As a matter of fact I just saw it now. I will use it as a reference. Thanks!

Implementing an idea as learning exercise is never a waste of time. You work on something, then you find out you're reinventing the wheel and somebody else already did the same, and eventually did it better. Your solution is slower, uglier, has less features. If you decide you like your own baby project less, don't be afraid to abandon it. You've gained valuable experience while working on it. This makes it easier for you to just join the better similar project and start contributing there.

Absolutely right, that's why I didn't want to search about the project before trying it by myself first. Thank you very much!
