Anyone want to help create a Free and Open Source AlphaSmart Neo?

Learning programming on TTGO VGA32 (based on ESP32)
I would like to use TTGO VGA32 as a programming environment for children to learn how to code like it's 1999. Only basic tools, a code editor and a compiler/interpreter, no web browser, no Stack Overflow, no code completion. See this article for a rationale. Now, what developer environment would be the best fit? FabGL provides PC Emulator with a selection of OS-es: CP/M, FreeDOS, MS-DOS, SvarDOS, ELKS, GEOS, GEM. Which would be the best OS? Apart from BASIC and Turbo Pascal/C++ or Watcom C++, which useful dev tools for 80186 should it contain? Micropython, Lua, Wasm3? What do you think of it?

Looking for variable to store strings to display a message on LEDS
You will want to follow the advice given by u/Stitch10925 and u/Ikebook89. If you take a look in the src/fonts folder in the FabGL library you will find many bitmapped fonts including a 5x8 and a 6x8 font. Either of these sound like exactly what you need.

With Pi boards being harder to find, I've been looking at alternatives. I think the ESP32 might be an interesting option.
https://github.com/fdivitto/fabgl is pretty much everything you'd ever want from an ESP32
