I have quite enjoyed using the kitty image protocol in interesting ways.

I made a Claude code skill telling it to put a little image in the corner of the console when it does a render to see how something looks. It was quite fun telling it to draw a chicken with 5 SVG D paths and watching it iterate in the terminal.

Kitty is so awesome. I'm writing (well, as much as anyone writes) a MUD that models a decent part of Tokyo at 30-60fps over SSH at reasonable resolution (that's the dream, at least). I'm shocked at how fast I can render a big complex 3d environment, in the terminal.

Do you have a project link or screenshots? That sounds super interesting!

This is my version of that for ds4:

We have a bunch of interactive Kitty Graphics demos, which run embedded in browser or from terminal. This weekend I was working on watercraft simulation:
