----------------------------------- Mackie Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:29 am Obfuscated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Alrighty folks. I have a 1TB web server and it's not getting used. So I've come up with a little contest to give away a piece of it. Since clean efficient code it staple of this site, I figure we should mix it up a little. The point is write the most confusing unsightly code possible, that still runs and does something useful. For a better definition just check Wikipedia. I will be the sole judge for this competition, because I really don't feel like coordinating anything. The code will be in Ruby. And no larger than 15KB. If you don't like something about this contest, I don't care. It's my 50GB and I can do with it what I please. Due Date: March 1st, 2008 (duh) Post submissions in this topic. No one is going to take your code. Let the games begin! Prize: 50,000MB FTP Account 50TB Bandwidth ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Feb 16, 2008 1:00 am Re: Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- And no larger than 15KB. do you realize how many characters that is? ----------------------------------- Mackie Sat Feb 16, 2008 1:10 am RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Ahhh, sorry typo. 150KB... ----------------------------------- zylum Sat Feb 16, 2008 3:20 am RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- I think 5KB is more than enough considering it's in ruby.. I personally would go for 1KB. ----------------------------------- Mackie Sat Feb 16, 2008 4:00 am RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Oh man, I completely forgot. Bonus Points for inefficiency! :P ----------------------------------- BigBear Sat Feb 16, 2008 9:56 am Re: Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Due to the fact that I am fairly new it would be too hard. Too bad it's only in Ruby. Nice setup though! :D ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:23 pm Re: RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- I personally would go for 1KB. I second zylum on this one. ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Sat Feb 16, 2008 3:38 pm RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Just some clarifications: 1 Character = 1 Byte Base 10: 1 KB = 10^3 Bytes 1 MB = 10^6 Bytes etc. Base 2: 1 KiB = 2^10 Bytes 1 MiB = 2^20 Bytes etc. ----------------------------------- Mackie Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:12 pm RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Fine! If everyone is going to be so picky about it. No Size Limit. Also the prize FTP is going up to 60GB. Just because I'm in a good mood. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Feb 17, 2008 3:04 pm RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Haha, everyone is pushing to change the contest in one direction, and then Mackie changes it in the other. :lol: Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and attempt a default win: puts "EYE WIHN" ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Feb 17, 2008 3:15 pm Re: RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and attempt a default win :lol: lets get this party started puts "#{gets.strip} wins!" ----------------------------------- Mackie Sun Feb 17, 2008 4:27 pm RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Tony's wining! Also big mistake on my part, I spelled obfuscated wrong... Just wanted to let everyone know before someone comes in and points it out making it look like an idiot. :P So I've got no problems if a Moderator wants to change that. :D ----------------------------------- Clayton Sun Feb 17, 2008 4:43 pm Re: RE:Obfusticated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and attempt a default win :lol: lets get this party started puts "#{gets.strip} wins!" Indeed: puts "#{gets.strip!} wins!" ----------------------------------- Mackie Thu Feb 28, 2008 9:02 pm RE:Obfuscated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- ALright, seeing as there is such a small amount of interest in the contest. I guess I'll open it up a little bit. New deadline is March 20th. I realize now that limiting it to Ruby was a mistake. Sooo.... Any language allowed! ----------------------------------- Sane Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:14 am RE:Obfuscated Code Contest : Prize - 50GB FTP Account ----------------------------------- Here's my entry. It may or may not be final. IE, I might revise it some time before the deadline if someone raises the bar higher. #include #include #include #define V '=' #define I '='+'=' #define ZZZ int #define W while #define C() system("cls") ZZZ X[0X763]={0},XX[0X763]={0};ZZZ XXXX,XXXXX;XXX (){for(XXXX=1;XXXX> tok, cin && (ss.~stringstream(), new (&ss) stringstream(tok), (ss >> n) && !(ss >> junk)) ) { cout
