The font bitmap has empty space reserved for ASCII characters 0x80 through 0xA0.

We should use that space for something, like icons for WASM-4 controller buttons, or generic sprites like stars/hearts/etc.

Games can then use hex string literals to easily display these:

text("Press \x80 to jump!", 0, 0);

Hello!

This is just me trying to reach out to anyone using this.

I am currently trying to prioritize which side projects I should work on next. And just want to hear that there are people actively using this, so I can close out some bugs and things, and implement some new features.

Thanks! 😄
