Slightly necro-posting, as the author (@wojciech-graj ) mentioned, (but isn't made explicit in the readme), it looks like you'll need 80 char wide, 50 tall*.

Which actual console (the original command prompt or Windows Terminal or a 3rd party), your font selection and size, etc. will all affect how well the image resolves.

A quick test of doubling the resolution does make detail a lot better, but it barely keeps up and you can see some, er, screen tearing (!) on my system.
