>C code is too "random" to produce nice images
In a world where it is possible to compute a file that contains its own MD5, I wouldn't bet on this. Wish I could find the link, there was some feted programmer who had a friend that bet him such a thing was not possible. He proceeded to write an algorithm that found such a file by brute force.
I wouldn't count on the eventual C being pretty though.

- JoachimSchipper 16y agoYeah, that's what I thought of too. Has it been done yet?
