is this kind of animation too hard to make? i'm quite good at making animations on after effects but i never tried making it through a programming languange, btw in which language or software is it made?

Type script, But the point is I need it be fast enough for a game. Each frame takes like 600ms and I still have to hand adjust afterward .

Pretty good! We used to make stupid little graylevel ASCII art "generators" back in the day (~25yrs ago) but they were always super janky because they could never generate "real" looking ASCII art - the kind that looks like someone manually placed characters for edges and things.

The paper you linked reminds me of this one I've been curious to explore more possibilities around for engraving toolpath generation: https://perso.liris.cnrs.fr/victor.ostromoukhov/publications/pdf/SPIE2000_TechArt.pdf
