Fixed a broken letter and cleaned up some old code!

Now with full alphabet (minus P for pausing) support!
Thanks to dw817 for the valuable tip that made this version possible.
Ver. 1.0.0
Long time Pico-8 enthusiast, first time uploader. This is a little typing game I put together to help my three-year-old get a sense of how the keyboard works.
You'll note right away that there aren't that many letters, just those used to get actual input for the system, and several have other inputs that will technically set them off, but kids don't know that!
This was a lot of fun to do and my son loved it. Well worth the time. Hope someone finds and enjoys!
You may not be aware but PICO-8 now has the ability to read any letter or digit from the keyboard.
Indeed I was not aware. This will be well worth going back into the code. Thanks for the heads up.
Just a note you can disable the pause on enter and p using a poke. The exact command can be found in the pico8 manual online. It'd be nice to see a bump in speed after multiple correct inputs. Maybe implement a score variable to achieve this. Lovely little game with a nice story to match.
