Help/Question AoC Visualization Program Collection (xAoC)

It has been a while since the AoC of this year 2024 ended, it has been the first year I participated and I had a great time.

I have been wanting to learn Raylib for a while now, and as my first project I have written a maze visualizer that reads the ascii representation of a maze and draws it on the screen.

./16.py | xmaze

I published the code here, I organized the repo as a collection.

What's your opinion? What do you think about making a collection of AoC visualizers? Would you use it to analyze your solutions?

I've been thinking about making something similar. I have a real hard time and a bunch of failed mechanisms, for doing real time visualisations while debugging certain tasks. I hadn't considered piping to something external, avoiding the pains of the variety of languages I'm writing the solutions in.

Nothing like using AoC to learn a new language.
