Support for other field coefficients

This is more of a question.
Is it in the scope of this package to re-adjust the ripser source code to support other coefficients in a prime field?
As you know, this should simply involve replacing areas like e.g. here with the code compiled when the USE_COEFFICIENTS preprocessor variable is enabled in the ripser package.
I imagine usage like
TDAstats::calculate_homology(unif2d, dim=1, p=11)or something

Yes, particularly given that it's a Ripser feature, this would definitely be within the scope of the package. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to adding it for a while - is this something you would be willing to add to TDAstats?

Seeing how I'll need it soon, yes I'll fork and PR soon-ish

Sounds good, thank you!
