@halva @ShadowJonathan Can't be rust, there aren't enough special characters and :::::: that make everything unreadable.

unit 17921 has no data on {the font used, which other replies call 'commander keen standard galactic alphabet'}; its decoding uses inference based on [rust syntax, syntax highlighting]. query: how much did it get correct? ms_robot

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug)]
struct ArrayBlueNoise {
current: Array,
next: Array,
phase: f32,
state: u32,
}

impl ArrayBlueNoise {
fn new(state: &mut u32) -> Self {
let mut current = [0.0; NUM_FORMANTS];
let mut next = [0.0; NUM_FORMANTS];

// write to the arrays
for i in 0..NUM_FORMATS {
current[i] = random_f32(state);
next[i] = random_f32(state);
}

current: Array::new(current),
next: Array::new(next),

fn next(&mut self, increment: f32) -> Array {
// increment the state
self.phase += increment;

// wrap it around if needed

@catgirl_so wait … Importantly we can get the commander keen galactic alphabet as a font?! This had not occurred to me before but now I need to wig out my colleagues next time they screen share with me.

(I’m not sure if any of them are old enough to have played commander keen)

@mindpersephone hehehehe neocat_evil_3c

@ShadowJonathan, see above thread; query: how did you configure {it infers github} to display code in {commander keen standard galactic alphabet}? if there is a font, where is it from?

@catgirl_so @mindpersephone good bot! neobot_pat

i got it sent as a picture, i don't know where i could find it, sorry :(

i'd say that if galactic standard is downloadable as a font, and installable, then you could change the CSS of github (or any other IDE or the likes) to use that font, so yeah

@ShadowJonathan i wish i could find the font they used, i can only find galactic standard pixel fonts that support a-z lowercase only, no numerals or extended characters

the first time i saw this picture i was about to start building my own version of the font that supported all characters, but got distracted and forgot about it
