16th IOCCC Winners Released
An anonymous submitter wrote: "A while ago the 16th IOCCC winners were announced. Apparently "releas[ing] the winning source by mid April 2002" actually means "within a year", but you can finally enjoy them here. Or, if you don't enjoy them, you can beat your head against the wall trying to figure out how these programs work ;-)"
That would be "brain".
There is no sig, there is only Zuul.
well that was an incredibly fast slashdotting.
and I was looking forward to having no freakin clue as to what any of the programs did.

No, I'm being unfair. IOCCC code is much easier to understand :o)

This story is something about the obfuscated code writing contest. I read something about this years ago but I certainly don't recognize the contest purely on its initials, and of course the writeup says very little, all the links are slashdotted, and the initial posts aren't very descriptive.
So the story itself is obfuscated? That would almost be vaguely clever, though I think poorly done is the more likely answer...
To the average VB Developer, the words "Obfuscated C" is redundant.

Ah well, I guess it means I won't be using working hours today trying to work out how to use these "insights" in my own code.

My all-time favorite IOCCC winner has been savastio.
It's been up on my cube wall for a while. If anyone complains about my code here at work I threaten them to code like it.
Always works!
The IOCCC is an ASCII modern art competition right?
