Programming Challenge

Martin · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:55 pm

I challenge anyone to make the most impressive program in 200 lines or less. The rules are as follows.

a) No Images (bitmaps, jpegs etc)
b) No included, text or binary files
c) No Sys. commands

Standard spacing
the following, or anything similar counts as 201 lines:

code:

loop put "Hello World" end loop

Otherwise, anything goes. Please post the source.

Any submissions that I (or any of the mods) like will get 50 bits. The winner gets another 50 (End date undecided).

Best of luck.

P.S. Anything already posted on compsci.ca is not allowed, even if you are the original poster.

martin, please clarify No pictures is it only image files or graphics at all?

Also by 200 lines or less I assume standart spacing, not placing your whole program onto the snigle line.

code:

<HTML></HEAD><TITLE>OMG WHOLE FRIGGIN SITE ON ONE LINE</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BACKGROUND = "black"><FONT SIZE = "26" COLOR = "red">TEXT ON MY ASS KICKING SITE ALL IN CAPS AND ALL ON ONE LINE! TAKE THAT ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH YOUR MORE THAN ONE LINE CODE! IT IS NOT NEARLY AS EFFICIENT LOOKING AS SHOVING AS MUCH CRAP AS POSSIBLE IN ONE UNFORMATTED LINE!</FONT></BODY></HTML>

Well... it looked more impressive in notepad... oh well..

Special Thanks goes out to tony for giving me insparation to do this Wink

Tony, I have no idea what you're talking about: *innocent* Also, it can be in any language (french, english, c++, turing...you name it)

well it doesn't make any sence for someone to do it in c++ when they are worried about line consumption ie. hWnd alone takes a good 150 lines or so.I would reccomend looser line restrictions on c++ applicants.

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2003 12:24 am

Fine, 300 lines if you use c++, no DirectX or OpenGL

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2003 12:24 am

Oh, and if you use c++, you can include standard header files Wink

Catalyst · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2003 1:29 am

Asok · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2003 10:34 am

I think that would be fine catalyst.

Martin · **Posted:** Tue Apr 15, 2003 9:30 pm

Nobody?

Catalyst · **Posted:** Tue Apr 15, 2003 9:46 pm

ill post up my per pixel code soon...

Tony · **Posted:** Tue Apr 15, 2003 10:09 pm

lol, might as well give bits to catalyst then Razz

maybe we should give a bonus prize if the winner is someone other then catalyst Wink

Lol, its kind of hard to compeat against him.

Delta · **Posted:** Wed Apr 16, 2003 8:58 am

I think Catalyst should create a new program so we can see more of his wonderful skills Smile

(Delta shows signs of jealousy) And then that way we've got more time to create ours... anyone in agreement with me...?

Anyone? Sad
