interesting... you could have made it smaller with the interne print function, no?

This actually is using the standard font and print function, it’s just using poke(0x5f2c,3) to set the resolution to 64x64.

I was experimenting with this for the lowrezjam since I liked the idea of ASCII art to make it even lower resolution in a way. Since I didn’t end up submitting it, it would be interesting to come back to this and see what a 128x128 version looks like
