Random Text Editor
A random text editor.
That is to say, a text editor that only allows you to change the character at a specific location.
...Yeah, I'll be honest, I took the theme a little seriously. But you could totally write something in this, it'd just take a while. 22 rows of 40 column text, knock yourself out.
D-pad - move cursor
A - change character at cursor
B - toggle cursor
X - bring up help message
(for those playing with keyboard, D-pad == arrow keys, A = Z, B = X, X=A)

Install instructions
Windows: Use "randomtexteditor_xp.exe" if you're on a Windows from XP to 8.1, "randomtexteditor.exe" for 10+.
Mac: It should work. I recently found out it's a bare executable and not an app bundle.
Linux: Pretty sure this one oughta just work. But I can't verify.
TIC: If you want to be absolutely certain that it'll work for you (and you want to run it locally), use the .tic file. You'll need TIC-80 to run it.
Source code: If you wanna see how this works (and criticize my code) then download the .lua file.

this doubles as an ascii art tool
True! Although if you manage to make something good with it, then hats off to you.
