Working keyboard by 12Me21
All the letters/number/symbols work, and the caps lock key works. Soon I will make the backspace key work, though probably not the enter key.

Awesome save, I have written an entire paragraph praising this save, using this save. See it at id:1817878. Also, I called it a printer there by mistake. -

+1 Needs work. Recommendation: Implement an await input completion buffer to prevent multi-presses causing jams. -

Basically you store the widths of the characters in a separate buffer and read that when pressing backspace. -
LiquidCaesium 1st Jul 2015You could have a second buffer that has two kinds of particles: one of them only appears on boundaries to letters. Then when you would hit backspace, it would remove one pixel until it hits a boundary.

I made the pistons push the text up one frame earlier, so letters don't get stuck on the retracting piston -
12Me21 1st Jul 2015Ok, I improved some stuff: it now takes 7 to type a letter (before it was 8). The backspace button works (sort of.) it deletes one row of pixels at a time, so you need to press it multiple times (it depends on the width of the letter) remember that each letter should have a row of coal after it.

12Me21 1st Jul 2015The problem is, most other typewriters use monospaced fonts, so to delete a letter, the just have to remove a certain amount of rows. TPT's font has letters of different widths, so this won't work.

It's fantastic, I was searching some solutions to implement the backspace -
12Me21 1st Jul 2015Ok, it finally let me upload. I added an unjam button, and also a button that adds a 1 pixel space, for spacing.
