No easier or harder, definitely viable. More overriding is an old adage by
Alan Kay rephrased slightly: make the simple easy, the complicated possible.

This is great, please keep sharing. This looks potentially like the beginnings
for what a proper material object (see TODO) might end up requiring/using for
the typein interface.
Some feedback, you should use bu_fgets for portability. You're also also not
using the right format specifier, even though it seems to work (man printf).
Fastf_t is a floating point type so it should be something like %.2lf instead
of lld which is for long long integers.
What are your next steps with that code?

Yep, looks like the right direction.

That is fine for the next week at least.
