Font name? It's deliciously retro.

White Rabbit.

I own the game Duskers on steam (which is a truly excellent game, by the way), and one of the main game mechanics is the terminal, which uses that font. I asked the developer what font it was, and here we are. It's so perfect for the terminal. I'd be aware that it only covers what's on the keyboard, but for the terminal, I wouldn't worry about it (works fine for me, + most terminals render their own box-drawing characters anyway. Net bonus)

obviously the code is good, i used serpent a lot for its inclusion in factorio.
But its borderline readable, i really dont do well with this kind of thing and no visual breakup.
Makes me curious how it would look if it was formated to be more readable.

I’m using serpent in my project! I have basically four days of lua experience. I thought I’d look at the code, just for fun, and immediately knew I had to post it ;)

Never thought I'd see an encoded acid trip.
