heh ciro fun.

alhpa blending the lines wouldnt be productive (and liqbase doesnt even try to do it by the way), but you should be able to do it with brushes quite well.
my first attempts at drawing stuff were variations using python and its libraries.
it upset me when i quickly drew a circle and ended up with at most a pentagon.

you should be able to limit the range of your rendering though, i believe numpty physics tries this to some success

as for waiting for hardware, i've always been taught to make the most of what you have at hand.
