Why? 75000chars*2 bytes, will be much smaller then a graphical representation.

my_string:="1234"
mystring(3) --> 3
mystring(3):="4" ->"1244"

That last one will even do direct access to the string - no memory allocations involved - so it should be rather fast too.

I think what I will do is make a list that is the height of the world and store strings in each of those elements

EDIT: I tested it and you can also store values into it, 65 = "A"
