DAY 009:_PutImage

i -1 was about the letter indexes for the string. I am sure to keep the fist point drawn at x you have to subtract 1 from i to make a zero offset from x otherwise you will be a whole column right of where you need that first draw point.

• L16 - The reason we use 
  -1
   in 
  COLS * scale% -1
   and 
  ROWS * scale% - 1
   is because in the first iteration of the loop with 
  i%
   being 1, if we did not subtract one, it would offset them, and so the passed in desired positions would be actually offset for the first character.
  

Copy / paste above has odd format above, 

Anyway, honestly maybe the -1's might not be necessary. Mathologically sometimes you need a -1 and sometimes you don't. A screen with 0,0 top, left corner has bottom right corner at _width -1, _Height -1
If x, y is top, left corner add width, height for bottom right or add width -1, height -1?
Best way to tell is try both. I just tried with the -1's and didn't see any problems.
I think our letter boxes would overlap without the -1's. That is if we outlined the space each letter resides in as boxes, the boxes would overlap without the -1's, whereas the boxes would neatly abut one another with the -1's.

Aha! @grymmjack this proves the -1's do neatly place the box spaces next to each other without overlap.

I fixed my own "Font Print" sub by adding -1's to the Step when drawing the pixelated boxes that form a letter.
Notice how you can see each pixel individually specially at the bottom b+ with 5x5 font.

Yeah I noticed a big difference. Your second attempt is a lot cleaner! Well done.
