This is a nice companion to this video which deals with more technical details of the implementation of NES and C64 graphics. This document reads like requirements to that video's design.

Yeah, this illustration is what can be done in PPT in 5 minutes to explain how adding more layers/data can filter noise from signal, when I don't think it will take 5 minutes for me to write a LaTEX code that does the same. That's not counting Powerpoint does allow me to draw lines and stuff easily on a canvas. If I want to do it in LaTEX, I probably will need to draw that diagram on a separate program and import it back. link Sorry, the slide is clipped for some reason, but that's because I don't know how to configure OBS. It's not the best illustration ever, but you probably get the idea. Here is an animation that isn't mine and I think it's really well done to explain a hard idea (not necessarily in PPT): this video
