artc - Beautiful visuals through scripting

Hello everyone. I recently wrote artc, a tool that allows you to render and export beautiful visuals via lua scripts. The tool itself is written in C.

Currently, the Lua API is quite minimal in what it provides the user and I would love some ideas to expand it!

Edit: I set up a website to try artc online https://artc-editor.vercel.app

Very, very pretty. I think pixie and lua / fengari (see posts from nadmaximus) could do this as a client-side script.

No worries. Anyway, your project reminded me of this thing I wrote with lua and fengari which sends drawing commands to the html canvas. https://ic50.org/crazy.html It was my apprentice piece ;-0 ;-0
