I wanted to make a list of the kanji used by the Japanese version of SimCity. I got all the 8x8 pixel tiles, but every character is an 8x16 combination of 2 tiles, and there's no centralized pairing data. Could be paired by hand, but this seemed like too much work. (Notes above.)

@foone There's some notes at the bottom of that gist, but a summary:

The game stores text as arrays of 8x8 tile indices, so there's no single-character form to inject. You get 24 words for the top half, and then 24 corresponding words for the bottom half, but there's nothing that maps a single index to the two tiles of a pair. (The game's dynamic text only uses the roman alphabet.)

@foone I'm now curious about what the current record is for most electrically inefficient keyboard.
