------ Well, since I didn't win the obfuscated C code contest this year, and since have seen or heard anything about who *DID*[1], I thought I'd post my entries. I'd be real interested in others' entries -- in fact, I think all entries should be posted anyway; it's kinda like a modern art exhibit. We might even get written up in the "arts" section of some newspaper... [1]: don't flame me, I have been keeping up with net.announce and have yet to see anything; that was a newsgroup which was claimed to be used for postings on this whole affair. I had two entries: The first is my stab at a one-liner. It compiles on anything that has a C compiler. Give it any number of numerical arguments. ------------ #define _ putchar #define _00 main #define _01 '\n' #define _10 (_0,_1)char**_1;{if(_0/(1+1))_11( _00 _10 atoi(_1[1]),_1),_(_01),_00(_0-1,_1+1);}_11 _10 _0/2,_1);_("01"[_0%2]);} ------------ The second is my artsie-fartsie entry. It doesn't take args, and it's not interesting (altho it does print stuff). It's there to look at -- why, I don't know. ------------ #define hah define #hah hehheh hah #hehheh haha main #hehheh ha ; #hah Ha int #hah he ( #hehheh Ho { #hah ho char #hah hee printf(" #hah har for #hehheh hoo ++ #hehheh dee = #hah eee } #hehheh heh ! #hah Hee 1 #hah wee 5 #hah HA ) ho hooo dee Hee ha Ha aaaH ha haha he HA Ho ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha har he ha he heh heh aaaH HA ha HA ha ha heh he wee HA ha ha Ho Ho Ho Ho Ha oo dee Hee ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha har he oo dee wee ha Hee ha oo hoo HA hee HA har de HAH HA ha heh hehe"HA ha ha ha ha eee ha eee ha ha ha Ho ha wee ha eee ha Ho Ha a dee Hee ha a ha eee ha Ho eee eee eee eee ------------------------------------- flames, suggestions, jokes, etc... to me: dan (argv@sri-spam.arpa)
