[cgjsfbdd] Star Wars scrolling terminal

Create a terminal application which sort of acts like the Star Wars introduction: old text is compressed as it flows up.  This way, more lines can be fit on a page, but with higher quality for more recent output, which is what we care about.

I imagine only compressing vertically to avoid weird shaped windows.  Perhaps some very interesting font which remains somewhat readable even if characters are one pixel tall (Morse code?).
