You'll need a windowing system that keeps track of the contents of each window, and a system to draw all the windows in the correct order and location on the screen.

you could just store the various pixels in one talble (pixels = {}) and the letters in another (letters = {}) of course for that you need a custom print function to keep track of letters and their location
