nothing works as need.

imagine only two test characters as "O" and ":" in the center.
position "O" somewhere near ":" but not over it initially.

implement consistent to ascii borders logic that switch the state of overlapping character to overlayer and will allow to jump over it at the same coord by preserving both characters in the same coords.

then switch both characters to overlayer mode if they met at the same coord so they can actually consistently overlap onto each-another but in the same coord.

then think which what is rendered when and how it need to be rendered or excluded/added from ascii matrix properly on overlap or overlay.

then check visibilities because ":" constantly higher in z-index. check transparency of overlayer.

but why you cannot substract a shape of character and overlayer it properly in some layer with alpha channel over another?

no, think how you can render through alpha channel one thing over another overlapping it. maybe some micro svg code as that overlayer which will allow to see both characters or all unicodes?

full code gen

now it normally overlays unicodes characters over each-another. now stabilize all dimensions properly to some strict.

you have made svg field while should be ascii in concept. that micro-svg overlayer should serve as overlayer in hybrid with ascii, not fully replacing ascii.


no, look:

<pre id="overlaplayer techniques">
|              |  Y0
|       O      |  Y1 <--random any unicodes characters approaching each-another.
|       O      |  Y2 <--still approaching...
|       O      |  Y3 <--still approaching...
|       X      |  Y4 <--SCHKHLAABLAAKKH MAZAFAKA! they both turned into micro-svg universal overlayer.
|       :      |  Y5 <--still approaching...
|       :      |  Y6 <--still approaching...
|       :      |  Y7 <--random any unicodes characters approaching each-another.
|              |  Y8
|              |  Y9
</pre>

then on disapproach from X-point, they basically turning into basic ascii characters as before.

they are crossing each-another = turning into micro-svg transparent alpha channeled overlayers.
they are discrossing each-another = they are turning back into simple ascii characters.
