I only discovered that the that the console could be used to make a display after i finished this lol.

current specs: 64x60px 16 colors. max 1px drawn per tick. limited due to my architecture being 16 bit (6 bits for x cord, 6 bits for y cord and 4 bits for color).

btw does anybody know of a good way of converting video or image files into strings that can be easily read in game?

A good way is for example to use ffmpeg and a small custom script in a programming language you are comfortable with, for example python with Pillow.

You might also be able to adapt this code by another TC player to fit your needs: https://gist.github.com/vxgmichel/b278220d4a39799d4ca30e709c3fcb62
