Then you try rendering a complex facility map with corners, T-junctions, and status icons, and raw character cells start feeling incredibly limiting.</p> <p>Two specific problems hit me immediately when I tried switching to Raylib for graphics. First, drawing wall tiles manually by hand in level files meant placing 16 different corner variations by hand. Second, when I tried rendering a 🚨 warning emoji alongside FiraCode monospace text, Raylib just rendered a missing glyph box (<code>?</code> or <code>□</code>).</p>
