    I tinkered a bit with sixel support for my "C64 emulator in the terminal" (https://github.com/floooh/docker-c64), but unfortunately it's way too slow to get anywhere near 'realtime' output (30fps or better).

    Here's the (abandondend) sixel-version source code, only with two colors, more color planes would drastically reduce the performance.

    I really wish there was a decent pixel-framebuffer standard for terminals (with at least the same performance as curses). This would allow a lot of fun "terminal applications" (e.g. everything that used to run in VGA Mode 13h).
