Interesting what you did here, @EnzoFr. You cannot select a character <16 ? I may one-up you a little later. :)

@dw817,

Since 0.2.3, characters 0-15 are used as control codes and produce various problems when you try to print them. Some will print but cause issues, such as causing an ongoing beep, some like char#0 won't print at all. I figured out a way to display representations of all these with a custom print function and a table of one-off graphics characters, but simple printing doesn't work.

They could still be displayed on this screen though, @JadeLombax. You remember the Interactive ASCII Table for Pico-8 I put together earlier shows all 256-characters, including the bell.

Thank you @dw817, no doubt that you can do much better ;)

I have no idea how to represent the first 16 ASCII control codes (https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/P8SCII#Control_codes) and for the use case of this cart I don't know if it has an interest.

Nono, @EnzoFr. It's not as complex as that. You could just use 16-doodled sprites to represent them.

And yes, there would be an interest. It could be someone wants to know what the ASCII code is for CR. So you actually have a sprite that shows the classic down and left arrow or tiny letters of CR. It's up to you. :)
