Rather than trying to get the original to fit, I'd create a new one for
Mode 7 though there's no reason why you couldn't check
console.term_supports(USER_ANSI) I suppose and then decide what to do
from there. Keep in mind, if you change anything in exec then you
should move it to mods and if they're ever updated, you'll have to
manually make changes accordingly. That might be why it could be easier
to just create a new version for Mode 7.
