Appearance
Behavior
This component implements a very simple text terminal. It receives a sequence of ASCII characters at input "D", which it displays line by line. When the current line is full, the terminal continues on the next line, moving the whole terminal content upwards after the last available line has been filled.
The terminal supports the following control characters:
-
Backspace (ASCII code 8): Deletes the last character of the current line.
-
Linefeed (ASCII code 10): Starts a new line, scrolling the current terminal content up one line if necessary.
-
Form feed (ASCII code 12): Deletes the entire terminal content.
