Overcast, some bullshit.

Thanks Trent.

GPT was struggling to output pixel perfect "classic MSDOS installer style" without blocky results or messed up characters and all kinds of usual AI artifacts. I was having a back and forth revision session when it suddenly proposed: " Instead of relying on the image generation tool to "guess" the look: Do you want me to manually recreate this using Python and Pillow, building the image programmatically block-by-block. " and here we have this image using the appropriate Code page 437 font. (yes that font wasn't part of the operating system but actually bitmap glyphs built into a ROM chip)

a simple text art animation :)

I used this font.

Suffering from my own... something.

[text-mode]

The 1986 retina screen: the WY-700 video card/screen gave the PC a 1280x800 resolution, and a text-mode of 160 columns by 50 lines. It had a built-in 16x16 font (download), and you could even use your own custom fonts. The high-res modes only supported greyscale, but who needs colours anyway?
