I read a fantasy/computer crossover series (Wizard's Bane) as a teen and remember a mention of the IOCCC. it fascinated me and I decided to enter. I spent most this and made a Mandelbrot fractal generator. I didn't win or get any recognition, but I still remember the code fondly. The source was in the shape of the fractal, used recursion, and was very ugly with ?:s everywhere, strange pointers and other ugliness. It could zoom and scroll. I was very proud of myself and always have kept C around. It's still my go to for little projects.
