Reverse ASCII character map

Question

In Map inputted ASCII characters, I asked you to .. map inputted ASCII characters. This time, you will do the opposite, by immediately mapping all ASCII characters, and then mapping spaces over them.

This program will have practical uses, such as seeing what characters you have left in a restricted-source challenge submission.

Challenge

Your job is to write a program that un-maps inputted ASCII characters. As soon as the program is run, it will display this exact map (except color, font, size, etc.):

step 1

Each time the user inputs a printable ASCII character, you will print a space over it.

Rules

• The initial output must be exactly as shown in the first image above: a 6x16 grid with ASCII characters in their respective positions, with the space (32) at the top left and the tilde (126) at one character left from the bottom right.
• Your program only needs to display the printable ASCII characters, 0x20 to 0x7E.
• Your program must not terminate and continue to print spaces over characters until all printable ASCII characters have been overwritten. From here, your program can either terminate or run off into Neverland.
• Your reverse map must be updated in realtime (as soon as it receives user input).
• If your program does not read input silently, it must put the cursor out of the way, so the text won't get in the way of the map.

Here's a useful ASCII table for reference.

Scoring

The answer with the least bytes in each language wins. Have fun!

• MD XF: Note to potential DV-ers or duplicate voters - it would be more difficult to port an answer on codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/124306/61563 to here than it would be to write your own answer. The answers over there read input and then use the input to print to the screen. Answers here have to print to the screen without input (using a different loop mechanism) and then test each inputted character for its location, then print a different character.
• Mr. Xcoder: Can we assume that the user presses enter after he entered 1 character?
• MD XF: @Mr.Xcoder Yes, that's fine for languages that cannot take input in realtime.
• MD XF: @Mr.Xcoder See rule 1 - Your program only needs to display the printable ASCII characters, 0x20 to 0x7E
• Conor O'Brien: @MDXF It's still strikingly similar to the original challenge. I just need to print the ascii characters to the correct positions, then, instead of putting the user's input in the correct spot, I just use a space instead.

Assembly:

mov sp, 0x0001 ; Stack pointer is used as a flag; 0 - Print all characters, 1 - Delete specific character
mov cl, 0x01 ; Number of characters to print per interrupt call
printString:
 mov al, 0x7E ; Last character to print
 mov dx, 0x05FE ; Row: 0x05, Collumn: 0xFE
 printRow:
 sub dx, 0x00E0 ; Decrement row number + 2 extra characters
 printChar:
 sub dl, 0x02 ; Decrement collumn index + 1 space
 mov ah, 0x02 ; Prepare for interrupt call, 0x02 - Set cursor position
 int 0x10 ; BIOS interrupt
 test sp, sp ; Are we printing all characters or removing specific character
 jnz print ; In first case just print it and go on
 xor ah, ah ; Otherwise reset the upper byte of ax (shorter than "and ax, 0x00FF")
 cmp bp, ax ; Is the current character same as the input character
 jne after ; If no, continue searching
 xor al, al ; If yes, remove it
 print:
 mov ah, 0x0A ; Prepare for print
 int 0x10 ; Print
 test al, al ; If we found target character
 jz loop ; then stop searching
 after:
 dec ax ; Shorter than "dec, al"
 test dl, dl ; Is it the last character in the row
 jnz printChar ; If no, continue searching
 test dx, dx ; Is it last char
 jnz printRow ; If no, go to next row
loop:
 xor ax, ax ; Remove "ah" cache
 xor sp, sp ; Reset sp (it will never become 1 again)
 int 0x16 ; BIOS interrupt for reading keyboard input
 xor ah, ah ; Again reset "ah", because BIOS may change it
 mov bp, ax ; Save it in stack base pointer
 jmp printString ; Remove the character from the list

] ~Δ8«n"5αx203⁄1‘→č@ŗ░T

Try it Here!

Takes input in the input box. I hope that it isn't too big of an issue that characters can be deleted :p

Explanation:

] do.. while (popping (which makes the stack not blow up luckily :D))
 ~Δ push the ascii characters (range("~"))
 8«n split into lines of length 16
 "...‘ push "inputs.value" (could be 2 bytes less if my dictionary contained the word "inputs". I even added "input", but only now realise that the input box is id=inputs :/)
 → evaluate as JavaScript, then push the result
 č chop into characters
 @ŗ replace each of the characters in the array with space
 ░ clear the output
 T output without popping (so do..while continues looping)

Answer 6

JavaScript (ES6) + HTML, (削除) 139 (削除ここまで) (削除) 136 (削除ここまで) 116 + (削除) 10 (削除ここまで) 16 = 132 bytes

-3 bytes thanks to @Shaggy.
-14 bytes inspired by @Arnauld.

for(i=32;i<127;)O[h="innerText"]+=String.fromCharCode(i++)+(i%16?" ":`
`);onkeypress=e=>O[h]=O[h].replace(e.key," ")

<pre id=O></pre>

Closing pre tag is required in this case, since we need the innerText value to start totally empty.

• Shaggy: Save 2 bytes with O[h="innerHTML"]=a=[...Array(95)].map().
• Shaggy: And I think you can save another byte by getting rid of a completely.
• Justin Mariner: @Shaggy Thanks, I was using the extra a variable because innerHTML was turning & into &, along with some others. Switching to innerText fixed that.
• Arnauld: You can move i to the global scope to save 2 bytes: map(_=>String.fromCharCode(i++)+(i%16?...),i=32)
• Justin Mariner: @Arnauld Using that idea, I could just remove the whole array mapping and use a for loop instead. Thanks!

• Taylor Raine: @DLosc - I had not even considered using a Sub there - Great solution. Unfortunately, we do have to count the End Sub as the community has decided that autocompletion is not valid (at least with VBA, but I am sure that it applies here as well)
• DLosc: Huh, that's interesting--I hadn't realized there was a distinction between autoformatting and autocompletion. Good to know.

• jkelm: @TheLethalCoder That's why it says 138+using System
• TheLethalCoder: I mainly meant it because I forgot to add in the using into my byte count above.

This works, I'm still trying to find an online option as all the repls I've found hijack stdin.

• user72349: Online version can be found on TIO. Just a few notes: you can save more than 30 bytes by rearranging your identifiers and removing unnecesary parts. You don't need variable b at all, and you are also using uninitialized identifier readline (not sure if it is compatible with version on TIO). You also don't need variable r at all, instead of && at the end, you can use , and rearrange parentheses. Same with the && at the beginning. Also, no need for process.stdout in readline interface, etc...........
• Jared Smith: @ThePirateBay without process.stdout it throws (at least on my version of node). The readline thing was a typo (hit ctrl-z too many times). I'll change the &&s.
• user72349: Readline module doesn't require process.stdout. You can read the specification. It may throw an error if you messed something up with the rest of your code or if you are using old/inconsistent version of Node.js.
• Jared Smith: @thePirateBay Must be my node, I'm 6.9.1 on MacOS... just tried it again and createInterface apparently returns undefined if you omit the second param. I went ahead and removed it though per the docs you linked. As far as TIO goes, how do you make it interactive?
• user72349: Here is using only 191 bytes, but I am sure at least 10 more bytes can be saved. Sorry, im too bored now to continue golfing this: for(a=[],l=_=>console.log(a.join``),i=32;i<127;x=String.fromCharCode(i++),a.push(i&15?x:x+'\n'));l();require('readline').createInterface(process.stdin).on('line',c=>(a[a.indexOf(c)]=' ',l)())

This has no cursor whatsoever. I also have a 47 byte version which might be valid, depending on what is meant by "put the cursor out of the way, so the text won't get in the way of the map":

8000- 20 58 FC A9 A0 20 1B 80
8008- 20 ED FD 1A C9 FF D0 F5
8010- 20 0C FD 20 1B 80 20 57
8018- DB 80 F5 48 38 E9 A0 48
8020- 29 0F 0A 85 24 68 4A 4A
8028- 4A 4A 20 5B FB 68 60

This puts a cursor at the character after the character you type (which is the space between characters), so it won't overwrite any of the actual characters in the map. Whether this is valid or not is up to the creator of the challenge.

from textwrap import*
a=fill(str(bytearray(range(32,127))),16)
while 1:a=a.replace(input(a),' ')

Try it online! Output looks iffy on TIO (because input is passed from a file), but it’s fine interactively. I hope 'A'\n, 'B'\n etc is an okay input format.
