Title: The Omnimaga Obfuscated Code Contest (OOCC)
Post by: Juju on August 08, 2014, 10:33:22 pm
I know you guys love to write code nobody understands, especially in Axe, so why not a contest about that? You guys probably know the IOCCC, the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (http://www.ioccc.org), this is my take on it.

The rules:

I'll compete in computer langs and judge for calcs.

/me begins writing really messy code.

Then you shall be judge. I'll pick the judges definitively at the end of the contest so you have time to decide whether you enter or you just judge. Also you should probably be rather good at programming and understand what's going on to judge.

Lol, so basically, we do whatever we want as long as it is unreadable ? I think the Axe category is doomed, every program from Runer does what he wants and is unreadable :P
I'll probably enter, depending on my progress on my other project :)

Awe, too bad that before the contest doesn't count :P
All my old code is a huge mess :P
e.g. I already tidied this up some, https://github.com/Sorunome/Homepage/blob/master/bbCodeParser.php#L73 fail to understand it and just wrote the todo to re-write it XD

Would my old RPGs apply? :trollface:

Also i doubt Super Sonic Ball 83+ would be that hard to read, plus the physics uses some code Builderboy wrote for me :P

Another coding contest...wow, it's becoming a trend. :P

I'll start writing in Batch, and I have a bunch of tricks up my sleeve. ;) Just, is there any rules on what the code can do? Like, is this a Hello World, a Truth Machine, or whatever we want it to be?

Not really, the only requirement is that you should produce code so messy even Runer112 would be like wtf at your code.

Also you should probably read the IOCCC's rules (http://www.ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt) and guidelines (http://www.ioccc.org/2013/guidelines.txt), along with the previous winners of that contest, it's pretty much what I want for this contest, but it's not restricted just to C.

So we write code that over time, even we don't know what it does?

This happened to me with Metroid II Evolution. After a year of hiatus I revived it, but had to rewrite most of the events because I couldn't figure out what my old code did anymore *.*
