Text is a terrain type that can have any of the 256 characters. Its intended use is for putting text labels on a board's terrain.
Text is a unique element in several ways:
- Its display character is determined by color: Internally, ZZT stores character data where color bytes would normally go, presumably to reduce the number of stats that a long run of text would otherwise require.
- It has more than one ID: Because the color byte is occupied, ZZT encodes the text's background color by having multiple different IDs.
- Its foreground color cannot be changed.
- It cannot be referenced in ZZT-OOP: e.g., there is no way to change all text tiles to another element type.
