We can wait ;)
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

I am now testing the method to add chromacharacters.

So far it looks like it going to work.
Problem is that I can't replace the normal character with something else. Elsewhere on the screen the same character could be a normal display.

I need to define around 40 characters, but the first 2 are added and the method I figured out is working.

Sometimes a normal character must be shown and sometimes that same character with a marble on 1 or 2 plotposition.
On this first screen you can seen a plotted character like this

00
01

below the E, but also the ball above the 8-selection is the same character. That character is however a chromacharacter
where the other is the character #87

So my method is working and only needs extension for the rest of the characters.
