I'm glad you like the idea! I've done a manual tesselation placement program before without AI. I've been writing my own AI framework for coding projects which I call claude-on-rails. I thought this would be a good chance to test it out on a small project. But in general I agree, it is good to force yourself to code without AI sometimes to keep your coding skills sharp. But in contrast using AI allowed me to focus on the vision and the design, without getting bogged down in the coding details.
