Creating a Yu-Gi-Oh duel simulator for tic80. What are you thinking?

I have been experimenting with a hybrid renderer inside my self-developed BASIC interpreter that combines cinematic imagery, realtime Unicode rain effects and ambient audio entirely inside the terminal.

The layered rain moves independently over the static city background to create a strange retro-futuristic atmosphere somewhere between old demo scenes, terminal graphics and cyberpunk visuals.

Still highly experimental, but I really love the mood this direction is starting to create.
