Posted by Cliff on from the putting-your-code-fu-to-the-test dept.

SimonCooper inputs: "Are you frustrated with software bloat? If so then you might want to consider submitting a little something to The 17th International Obfuscated C Code Contest. The contest is now open for submissions and runs from midnight Jan 7th, 2004 through the end of 29th Feb 2004 (all times in UTC!). Later on in January it will be possible to submit entries using a web form."

    I've never placed though. Had an othello game and an encrypted program within a program (interpreter). In retrospect I probably should have chosen a different game because othello had been done before, and written a bigger program to run on the interpreter.

    I recognize one of the 2000 winners though from the Robot Battle Mailing List, long before he was in the contest.
