1st place in the interactive competition at #evoke2023: Worms VBI. Basically using #Teletext to render implementation of Worms game. The graphics is fairly impressive considering the limitations of Teletext.

@harrysintonen Woah, I had no idea you could update teletext so fast! I remember it taking minutes just to open up a single page. And then that single page maybe changed every few seconds, but that was it.

Polish TV used teletext for subtitles, so that required being able to update within seconds. (Wasn't there some delta-encoding scheme there for quicker updates?)

@robryk @harrysintonen Well that’s quite a different amount of data than 25 FPS fullscreen changes!
