A short article about how Atari drew text in their vector games, as well as a certain character that misbehaves a little bit.

RGME Article #25: Letters to Lines

The next video on the channel will be about the arcade game Tempest. In each of my videos, I like to stylize the theme to match the game or system I'm talking about. So for this video (and the last video I did on Atari's Quadrascan [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smStEPSRKBs]), I use a font that is nearly identical to that used in Atari's vector-based games.

What's the logic behind not centering the 1/2 character in the revised code?

Correcting the scaling issue was an objective change, while changing the appearance of the character would be subjective!
