I saw some cartridges had large images that would take the whole space of the spritesheet. To prevent that, they use strings to store data.
The bugs:
Colours:
- Q: 0
- W: 1
- E: 2
- R: 3
- T: 4
- Y: 5
- U: 6
- I: 7
- O: 8
- P: 9
- A: 10
- S: 11
- D: 12
- F: 13
- G: 14
- H: 15
Special characters:
- J: New line
- K: Space
