WS32000 an ESP32 Based Weather Star 2000 Simulator

As a 90’s kid, I occasionally find myself nostalgic for The Weather Channel. Particularly the Weather Star 2000 era. The low resolution, chunky text, and basic graphic are seared into my brain. Do the children even know that it was the precursor to Lo-Fi, Vaporwave, and countless other meme-genres? Who can say.

I also miss the days when coding was an actual discipline (at least, for me). Having to be concerned about the speed of each line. The pureness of having to know how much memory your using, and how much memory you have available including your own code.

This bad boy here combines these great tastes together, the goal of the WS32000 is to build a C based executable that runs on a standard ESP32 and outputs an approximation of the WS2000 directly to a crt television.
