+so basically I made a zero-asset policy for this project except for the font, <br>
+which I got from [openfont.org](https://openfont.org/), the font's name is "**Jacquard 12**" :) <br>
+also I took some inspiration from these pinterest pages (I will list every single one): <br>
+[Retro Game Titles by "cuilong li"](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/902408844107127097/) <br>

+  "description": "Jacquard is an expanded revival typeface from a Victorian needlepoint alphabet designed in Berlin by Heinrich Kuehn circa 1880. The Soft Type is a collection of typefaces designed for knitting color-work. Designing typefaces for knitting is essentially the same as creating pixel types. However, in practice, the pixel size is determined by the properties of the yarn in use. Scale is determined by the weight of the yarn as well as the number of pixels that make up the height of each letter. In this collection, the number following the typeface's name indicates the height of the capital letters for that typeface. These typefaces were designed with machine knitting in mind, but could be used for hand knitting, needlework, bedazzling, or many other textile crafts. Note: For Fair Isle knitting, you need to beware of floats and plan accordingly, as always. Each typeface has a “Regular” and “Charted” version, and some include multiple scales so you can fit type on your knits, no matter the project's size. Check out the charted version Jacquard 12 Charted . To contribute, please see github.com/scfried/soft-type-jacquard .",
