Rendering the text is handled by the graphics adapter. Right now all he has to do is tell the CPU what text to write. If he were to write a bitmap font renderer, he would have to switch to graphics mode and completely rewrite the whole console I/O.

Coding is so weird. Assembly I assume?

Coding is so weird.

Not really. It's just that pretty much all (actually all) graphics cards have a routine for drawing one predefined font onto the screen (terminal-esque). If you want to display pixel-based graphics manually, you'll have to switch to graphics mode and handle all the drawing/buffers yourself.

how big numbers can you allocate and calculate
give me 16000 ^ 16000

spoiler; it's around 6726 trillion (true fact)
len(str(long(16000 ** 16000))) / 10
