This is a fun little C project, inspired by the legendary 8088 Corruption/Domination programs.
Windows can only display standard ASCII characters in 16 colors. Using a 12x7 pixel font and shading characters 176 ░, 177 ▒ and 178 ▓, I can increase the number of colors to 616 using dithering. Contiguous characters of the same colors are combined into blocks to minimize the number of color change commands.
