18th International Obfuscated C Code Contest Opens

is there a similar contest for Perl? I imagine much crazier submissions with Perl than what can be done with C (no offense to C programmers ;))

Compile with -fwritable-strings, run, type in a number like 20, find your way out...

It's a command line based ascii to morse converter...
I especially like the fact it's a bunch of DAH DAHDIT!
Trolling using another account since 2005.
After running arg.c (just a file with the original source code in it) through the preprocessor and some indentation:
c 8a90l?e'b.s;i,d:";
... }__DIT? Or perhaps some Google searching :-P . I had wasted my time making this so I figured I'd post it.

(arg.c is just the original source file)
And there you have it. As mentioned on the page the similar names are annoyingly hard to read, ternary operator usage, weird function exits (I think I am not very good with C... corrections or resources about what exactly is going on with {__DIT
It takes all types in this world. I sincerely mean it... This is just my perspective.
This I love - One guy went and had the first ever entry in the ioccc (from 1984) tattooed on his forearm ...

This I also love - the first ever entry was a hello world program!
That entry was the longest one ever made into a tattoo, however there are hundreds of people around the world who have unknowingly had this entry tattoed on their forearm:

This is really a great competition - lots of fun, lots to learn. Try understanding how some of the entries work, its really a challenge sometimes, and you can learn plenty about C and the preprocessor.
I actually quite liked Hibachi. And not just for the animated logo! You can even run multiple instances on separate ports, and use NAT and port forwarding to get a poor man's virtual server setup.
I'd recommend you stick to v1.0 {which is actually PD}, for licencing reasons. The v2.8 licence is unnecessarily restrictive.
Je fume. Tu fumes. Nous fûmes!
It's pretty simple really though, you just have to convert it and then you've got your basic language, as long as you can handle stack-based programming it's a breeze. Ook is more to my liking.
