 * The main thing is, work in the "dev" branch instead of the "master" branch. The changes made to the Dev branch are eventually merged into Master for release.
 
+* Durdraw should always be able to run using the Python standard library, without any dependencies, even if some features are unavailable. That level of portability is important to me, and I think is part of its appeal. I am only willing to break it if there is a very good reason. You can still use a dependency if it is used in a way that does not prevevent Durdraw from running when the dependency is unavailable, but prefer the standard library, please.

 * If you implement a new feature that changes any behavior, unless it's really cool and makes a lot of sense, try to make it optional. For example, through a command-line option or runtime toggle. 
 
 * If you want to help "clean up" the code to make it more legible or modular, that's great. But, I request that you let me see some of the style changes you are proposing before you dump a giant patch of changes. I don't want major changes in a style I don't enjoy.

 * If you want to contribute ANSI or ASCII Art, that's great! Please post it in the Discussions on Github and give consent if you are OK with it being used (in the program, website, Readme file, youtube videos, etc).
