Picotron Text Editor

Write It is a retro-styled, line-based text editor utility (WriterDeck) built for Picotron. It features an line editing/jumping tools, and an interactive tracking anime avatar.

This is satisfying to use! I think you should use more conventional keyboard shortcuts though. Ctrl+S: save, Ctrl+G: go to line, Ctrl+X: don't delete everything.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I will try to include it in the next update.
