Troubleshooting Bug reports

Hello people,
Is this possible (maybe in future releases) to print non-ascii (unicode) in pokitto simulator ?

int main () {
game.begin();

while (game.isRunning()) {

    if (game.update()) {
        game.display.print("Hello, 世界!");
    }

}

return 1;
}

This is a very good question. Answer: at the moment unicode is not implemented but would be possible to do, at least in limited scope.

I would start with looking at Oli Kraus’s U8g2 graphics lib. If arduino can do it, Pokitto can do it.

This is why the lib is open source. Perhaps you’d like to try adding this to the sim? :wink:

Edit: on a more serious note, I will also take a look at what it would require.
