Hey @fuzzyastrocat, thanks for your observation. I agree and I have written a transform function that replaces numbers or letters that render as unrealistic looking snowflake shapes with more realistic ones. For example, these characters now get replaced by different characters: 1234790ESHN.

Thanks for sharing your Flurry project with me. It's really great - nice job! I really like the coding train guy and his fun approach. He's a good teacher. I hope you have a great holiday break :)
