How are those graphics output to the terminal? Is that a special terminal or a library helping with that?

  They're just characters. There are characters in terminal fonts introduced decades ago that allow you to draw different shapes, such as ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ ┍━┯━┯━┯━┯━┑ ┍━┯━┯━┯━┯━┑ ┍━┯━┯━┯━┯━┑ ┍━┯━┯━┯━┯━┑ 3 │ ⬤│ │ │ │ 8 │ │ │ │ ⬤│ 3 │ ⬤│ │ │ ⬤1 │ │ │ │ ⬤│ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ 4 │ │ │ │ │ │ 9 │ │ │ │ │ │ 4 │ │ │ │ │ │ 2 │ │ ⬤│ │ │ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ 5 │ │ ⬤│ ⬤│ 10 │ ⬤⬤│ │ │ 5 │ │ ⬤│ ⬤│ 3 ⬤⬤│ │ │ │ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ ┝━┿━┿━┿━┿━┥ 6 │ │ │ │ │ │ 11 │ │ │ │ │ │ 6 │ │ │ │ │ │ 4 │ │ │ │ │ │ ┕━┷━┷━┷━┷━┙ ┕━┷━┷━┷━┷━┙ ┕━┷━┷━┷━┷━┙ ┕━┷━┷━┷━┷━┙ It doesn't align perfectly here, but on terminal it does.

    I thought that might be the case, but the alignment looked too good to me.
