Conda packages do not have an equivanelt to the `extras`/`extras_require` part of pypi/wheel packages which are being considered for optional dependencies. There are open issues on the conda repo to...

## Package Names and filenames [source](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/concepts/package-naming-conv.html) + Conda package names can contain `[a-z0-9_\.\-]`. + I.e. `pyflamegpu` and `pyflamegpu-vis` or `pyflamegpu_vis` would be ok. if we have more than one. +...

Using cibuildwheel might be a reasonable way to build pypi compliant wheels? Would need investigation. https://pypi.org/project/cibuildwheel/

This is also relevant to the CUDA version used to build the wheel. The `2.0.0-alpha` wheels are build using CUDA 11.0, as this is the available version on google colab...

Rather than renaming wheels `pyflamegpu` to `pyflamegpu-console` etc manually, it appears that this might actually be possible via setuptools, while the python package itself is still called `pyflamegpu`. I.e. ```python...
