Holodeck Simulator With Monitors

Hello! I'm not new to ComputerCraft, or LUA, but this one has completely stumped me. I wish to create a sort of holodeck virtual world simulator, akin to those in Star Trek. I'm not looking for fancy graphics, or user input (although if you could control where you went, that would be amazing), I just want a pre-programmed ASCII-art simulation that I could relax in. I have no clue how to co-ordinate the 6 screens, or if it's even possible. If it is, how would I go about it? Thanks!

[Your previous post was removed for the same reason I'm removing the content of this post–horribly incorrect information. Hint: when a post is removed, don't just re-post it; it was removed for a reason. Monitors can be placed both in downward-facing and in upward-facing orientations. -L]

OP, you might look into the wired networking modems so that you can control all six monitors from a single computer.

I think the hardest part of this process would be finding/making ASCII art that looks good in an encased environment. The synchronization is quite simple if you use wired modems.

Do you have any ASCII art in mind?
