- I'm sure you have all seen gross, or down right structurally obscene C
- source code before. Some people who deal with various parts of the
- UN*X source wonder if some folks try rather hard to produce such
- down right smelly code.
-
- Now you have the chance to compete with the worst C hackers around
- by sending in your own obfuscated C program. Just follow the contest
- rules below:
- 1) the source file must be no more than 512 bytes long
-
- 2) mail your source to: hplabs!nsc!chongo
- no later than April 11, 1984. entries posted to
- the net will NOT be accepted. please give your
- letter the subject of: obfuscated C code contest.
-
- 3) winning entries will be posted to net.lang.c after
- April 12, 1894. (thats the prize folks)
-
- 4) indicate your net address in the text of your
- entry, this will be used to give credit unless
- you indicate that you want to remain anonymous.
-
- 5) entries must be of original work. (dont send anything
- that might upset Big Brother Bell) all entries are
- public domain. (who would want to own them anyway?!)
-
- Entries will be judged for: violations of structured programming, non-clarity,
- and use of "by the K&R book" C. (use of local mods to C are not encouraged)
- extra credit if they can be compiled using the 4.2BSD C compiler on our VAX 780,
- but dont let the lack of a 780 or 4.2 discourage you!
