It is one of those projects where you “do it badly” and then see how many clever algorithms etc a real codec uses and learn loads....added it for about 3 posts from now as I think it would be fun!
Thanks for the idea 😄

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I couldn't check it last night - it is 2.5kb per frame when gzipped for a 200 by 60 "resolution" image.
So it looks like you are right, I won't be able to roll this out as the future of video bandwidth saving ideas!
However you have given me an idea for a fun experiment for trying to write an "ASCII codec"....but that might be beyond my skills 🤣
An ASCII codec could be really interesting. I suppose you could borrow the idea of meta-blocks, or do some kind of diff operation between frames?
I've not really looked into video compression at all, but that is a really interesting idea for a pet-project.
