Awesome! Have you thought about adding a PETSCII font?

That's a great idea! Don't know how I didn't think of that. But you can upload your own fonts too as long as they are 1bit black and white.
Really fun. Thanks for sharing!
Some random ideas:
It'd be cool if you could start the growth engine from manual mode. Maybe for breadth-first growth you could add all the placed characters, and for depth-first just the last cell you clicked (+ some kind of visual feedback to show what that is)?
I'd also love to play with some way of enabling/disabling the characters to create a subset and see how that behaves.
One last thing is it'd be nice to toggle the grid lines off.

Feel like I've seen a similar tool Ben Hecks used in one of his projects making a game badge, able to look at a character like an Invader
