A somewhat related ask for help -

I have seen a program, I think for IOCCC, where the code was aligned in 4 character columns that seemed to naturally fit the code, so it would have code arranged like:

  for( long i=0; i<n; i++)
  {int a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4;
for the whole program.

I lost it though and have been completely unable to find it, despite searching very hard.

Has anyone seen something like this before? I would be forever grateful for any pointer towards it.



Was it one of these?

May be related, I have an index that lists winning entries with some form of ASCII art, one of those could be what you were looking for.

What did it do?


It was an interpreter for something. I don't remember what
