    RTFA. It quite clearly states that the source will be released later this year after the participants have been consulted.

    damn you moderators for moding this interesting instead of funny. It would have saved me the 10 minute load time to find out the file is blank. Pretty funny though.

    Wikipedia has a pretty good entry on Voronoi diagrams.

    And if you check out the image attached to the article, you'll find a remarkably obfuscated and short chunk of code to generate a random Voronoi diagram image. I bet this is the precursor to the winning code submitted to the IOCCC.
