How does this work?

I believe that Doom is just running as a separate executable and then there’s some new system that’s processing the visuals as ASCII and then just overwriting what’s in Notepad every frame. I don’t think that Notepad itself is actually modified.

I get that notepad isn't modified I'm just wondering how it's being updated externally.

Is it a debugger, updating what's in the text buffer?
