Here is the discussion thread for my latest project - 8-bit Bitmap Editor.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/482442499/

Ever wanted to design your own 8-bit bitmaps? Well here it is!

Scroll through the retro bitmaps, font characters or design your own!

When you are happy with the design you can export the code.

The bitmap code is in Portable Bitmap Format and can be saved to a *.pbm or *.pnm file. There are many online tools to convert .pbm to .png files which can then be uploaded as costumes. E.g. https://convertio.co/pbm-converter/

Portable bitmap format uses white space so you can enter new lines at the spaces, then if you squint you can almost see the bitmap.

You can copy the code below, click import and paste it into the 8-bit Bitmap Editor to view in classic 8-bit colour.

A phone number is a good guess. And yhe first line of the bitmap is like destructed, because it was a crewmate.
