It uses a sprite sheet png file. I am curious how you would target a simpler machine without a bunch of code to display those. I am having trouble picturing this.

There's no special reason it has to PNG, though - if you're aiming for minimum line-count without dependencies then just use a raw bitmap.
You can just inline sprites in code too. Even though that would add at least one big line of code :)

This is how I do fonts in one of my projects.
