Characters

ComputerCraft provides characters beyond standard letters and numbers that this application extensively uses to provide icons, square indicators, even borders, and even looking pipes. These can be found in the source code as hex, such as \x81 in a string.

Example Source

I generated this with the following Lua code:

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.lightGray)
term.write(" ")
term.setCursorPos(2, 1)
term.write(" ")

local hex = {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'}

for i = 1, #hex do
    term.write(" " .. hex[i])
end

term.setCursorPos(1, 2)
for i = 0, 15 do
    term.setTextColor(colors.white)
    term.setBackgroundColor(colors.lightGray)
    term.write(hex[i + 1] .. "_")
    term.setBackgroundColor(colors.black)
    for j = 0, 15 do
        term.write(" " .. string.char(i * 16 + j))
    end
    term.setCursorPos(1, i + 3)
end
