@neauoire That's looking pretty awesome already. It reminds me a bit of an 1bit mac program for Japanese caligraphy (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/14703-macintosh-calligraphy).

It didn't work that great when emulating, but the idea behind it (the faster you move the mouse, the thinner the line gets) felt like a solid solution to get caligraphic lines only with the mouse.

@FredBednarski oh wow, they really leaned into the brush thing. This is giving me ideas, thanks for sharing this :)

@neauoire You're more than welcome.

And yeah, the whole program is very much trying to simulate the experience of doing Japanese caligraphy: you mix your ink, choose different brushes, you can even take a break, look up from the page and just relax watching a garden (which I think changes with the system date, as I didn't remember it being winter last time I messed around with this program) :D
