Sure, IOCCC exercises are ones in futility, in the same way that breaking a speed running record achieves nothing real-world useful. But that doesn't mean it isn't spectacular and damn impressive.
- shric 5y agoAside from using small variable names and odd whitespace, it isn't particularly obfuscated.
- jpegqs 5y agoThis is what I am arguing about with another IOCCC winner. What can be called obfuscation, and where are its boundaries.
- snet0 5y agoThat's what I was going to say. If nondescript variable names and poor use of whitespace is obfuscation, a few of my friends could submit code they write every day.
- Galanwe 5y agoCome on there is no obfuscation here, you can literally read the code without issue. The only attempt seems to be 80*101 for 8080.
- jpegqs 5y agoIt's cool if you can read code like this without issue. I'm chasing Kolmogorov complexity, rather than obfuscation. I add things like this to fill gaps in a specific shape.
