Are CPAL and COLOR supported by chrome?
Chrome definitely supports them on Windows at least, I don't know if it supports them on other operating systems. Here's a test page for the various kinds of color font tables: https://yoksel.github.io/color-fonts-demo/
[Edit]: Yes, it seems. Very cool!

I have tried other shapes at the pixel level, but not at the sprite level. Example: I draw from the top left pixel, draw the whole row of pixels (use the run length encoding), Then I draw the next row and so on. I haven't tried drawing the top left pixel and then drawing the to the bottom right corner, then moving up/down a diagonal row. You're right that might make it look a lot better, I will have to try it later.…
I was specifically referring to the "sub-pixel" level: https://github.com/mmulet/code-relay/blob/main/markdown/HowI...

Amazing! I absolutely love projects like this, where you put a game in somewhere it clearly wasn't meant to be. I made a game you play in your file browser[0] before, and I have another idea planned using windows error dialogs. 0: https://wheybags.com/dungeons_and_directories/
You're following someone's footsteps and don't even know it. This is years beyond the statute of limitations so I can finally talk about it - in my youth I broke into one of LANL's servers for kicks; some Lotus/IBM Domino machine, saw nothing of interest except for a project directory which even the admin didn't have access to... I didn't want to escalate privileges any further because it'd require permanent changes…
This is crazy. I can feel the immense possibility from this. I especially like the "feature" of this game, where you can save, load, and even share the game progress just by copying the plain text.

I got the bad ending. But still trying to find out the place for abaa if thats actually what the key is.
You have the right key. Check out the secrets guide [0] if you get stuck. 0: https://github.com/mmulet/code-relay/blob/main/markdown/Secr...
Edit: Figured it out

A kindred spirit! Dungeons and directories is great! I've only played the beginning so far[Edit I've beat the game now and joined the secret club!], but I really laughed at the "You walk through the southern door, and straight into the chasm you saw earlier..." Picture : "you walking straight into the chasm with a smile on your face". I ran into the same problems you did, any variable leads to an exponentially large…
In the end, because it's a book and not a computer game, we could just ask the user: "If you have a key, turn to page 43..." and it just depends on the user being honest (or as honest as any reader of a CYOA book is, with nine fingers stuck between pages).
I assume there were similar books in the past that used the same mechanic -- maybe the Fighting Fantasy books? I forget.
For example, it's possible to go back to the beginning of the input box and edit your character selection while keeping the rest of your gameplay in place.
Seems like this could have a lot of potential as a puzzle game mechanic.
Now I gotta try shoving it into various programs to see if it works.
Great job!!!
