So I dunno if you know what a #VFD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display) is but I'm a sucker for these - at least virtually. Games like #RebelGalaxyOutlaw perfected the look and this is where I want to go with my app for my #EliteDangerous / #x4foundations home cockpit too.
This segment display is heavily inspired by #AugmentedUI project (https://augmented-ui.com/) where I'll borrow some more elements. Learned the neat fake scanlines from there too.
And yes they work by shifting bits under the hood
