@prologic@twtxt.net It’s quite similar to how escape sequences work in a terminal. ASCII text is printed as ASCII text and then an escape sequence can make it bold or underline and so on. Other escape sequences allow you to say “the following $n bytes are part of a bitmap image”, and then this gets printed at whatever the current position is (somewhat similar to SIXEL in a terminal).

It’s just that the units are a bit weird, because this is all done in bloody inch. 😅

Go 中祕而不宣的數據結構 BitVec：位向量 125MB 存儲 10 億個數據
位圖 (bitmap) 是一種優雅而高效的數據結構, 它巧妙地利用了計算機最底層的位運算能力。你可以把它想象成一個巨大的開關陣列, 每個開關只有打開和關閉兩種狀態 —— 這就是位圖的本質。每一位都可以獨立控制, 卻又可以通過位運算實現羣體操作。在實際應用中, 位圖的威力令人驚歎。設想你需要在海量數據中查找重複的數字, 傳統的哈希表或數組都會佔用大量內存。而位圖卻能巧妙地用一個比特位標記一個數字的 ⌘ Read more

after a month hiatus, I am getting back into some low level norns work. 8x8 bitmap fonts look real good on this thing
