I am trying to use ascii chars.
I'm using the code

print('\128\32\32\32')

But it's not working

[MKlegoman357]

ComputerCraft can only write the printable characters of 7-bit ASCII. In the latest versions of ComputerCraft Dan extended the printable characters, but as far as I know, they are not really mapped to a certain extended ASCII character set, you'll have to find them manually by printing them on the screen.

To my knowledge, CC 1.75 and before cannot view special unicode characters (like "\128"), but later versions (for MC 1.8.x and later, boo hoo) can.

Certain characters you can, but it's a bit tricky.

Define "not working".

If you see a bunch of question marks, then you aren't on Minecraft 1.8+.

If a bunch of blank spaces get printed, then you're on MC 1.8+, and you're getting exactly what you asked for.

I know 1.74 and 1.75 can. I'm pretty sure Blittle API uses that type of character, and it creates pixels in those versions

I'm currently using an emulator. No on question marks

It's a really good html-based emulator

[Lyqyd]

What happens when you run that code in Minecraft?

Could you tell us what the specific result you actually WANT is?

So, Mimic?

If you're talking about Mimic, it's not, I've had lots of annoying and inaccurate behavior in the past with it.
I've been using this type of typing bytes since at least CC 1.6, if nothing is showing it's simply because 0x20 and 0x80 are actual space characters.

Like term.blit doesn't work, and it always freezes? Plus main roots don't work. Those are the only problems I've seen. Plus, it's a lot better than the one here (But not as good as CCemuredux)

[KingofGamesYami]

More like these two pages of issues on the github repo.

[Luca_S]

Even in MC it is just empty for me. Seems like they are chars like " " or some control chars.

That's mainly because mimic is on a version prior to 1.74 which doesn't have term.blit, let alone the character set used by BLittle.
