gollark: https://wiki.vexatos.com/dfpwmIt's weird and I don't think anything else uses it.
gollark: DFPWM, I'll link it.
gollark: Natively, Computronics tapes are basically just big binary storage things you can playback DFPWM from, so my thing consists of an encoder which converts whatever input to WAV to DFPWM using external tools, as well as reading their metadata and adding a metadata block to the start of the tape to be read.
