## Introduction
Gemini is a monospaced ASCII rendering engine, capable of rendering 2D and 3D graphics in a terminal or console and written in Rust. This is a loose port of [gemini-py](https://github.com/renpenguin/gemini-py) which was made in Python but was deprecated due to performance limitations.
**IMPORTANT**: You MUST use a monospace font in the terminal for the engine to render the view properly
Looking for input? The [console-input](https://crates.io/crates/console-input) crate (also made by me) makes it easy to implement cross-platform input

As of now this is still a work in progress, so any feedback or issue requests would be very much appreciated :)
