I made this framed print as an award in NAVE Arcade's 12th World Tournament
In the illutration you can see all 21541 registered scores, with each line representing a register and the line's length representing the score. Each name has a palette colour asigned randomly

I was able to modify the ice40-playground code to work with this panel.
The repo includes a python app to stream video to the panel really easily.
Here I used that together with gphoto2 and ffmpeg to send the DSLR live preview to the screen
