Heh. I tried running that code through three different beautifiers and they all failed spectacularly. For those of us who don't enjoy visual self-flagellation, here's an attempt at untying the above ball of yarn: #define F for(i=0;i<l3;i++) main(n) { int i,j, w=640, h=480, l=w*h, o[] = { ~w, -w, -w+1, -1, 1, w-1, w, w+1 }, b[l*5]; F b[i]=rand(); for( puts("YUV4MPEG2 W640 H48" "0 F30 C444"); puts("FRAME"); ) { F { for( n=j=8; j; n-=b[ i + o[--j] ]&1 ); b[i+l] = (n^5 && !b[i] | n^6) - 1; } F putchar( b[i]=b[i+l] ); } } EDIT: I had no idea you could italicize code blocks! This was an accident, but I'm going to leave it because it looks pretty. Has this always been a feature? I've never seen italicized monospace before. That first line is supposed to read "for(i=0; i < l times three ..." but the asterisk is somehow causing HN to italicize the code block. There's no matching closing asterisk, so this is pretty amusing.
