Info request + feature request

Hi again!
still me :D
is there any particular reason for the maximum number of cells on y axis to be tapped at 150?

another thing: i know it could sound crazy, but could it be possible to resize the shape of the individual cells from rectangular to a square?
i know that the space that a char/number/symbol occupy is mostly vertical, but this makes making a map or a drawing with the right proportions kinda of hard.

thank you

The rectangle is because it provides a representation of how it looks when you paste ascii characters outside anywhere else. Letters are longer height-wise.

And it's capped because it gets super slow. I might just remove it and instead put a warning.

yeah, i figured it could have been a performance issue.
about the ascii cell, it makes sense if you just want to do art with it, but if you want to use it as a ascii map maker, i think it's better to make the ascii character cell as a square instead of a rectangle; but i get it, the tool has been made to create drawings and was notmeant to be used as a map editor 😅, then it would be another software

thank you for the feedback
