Thread: The Obfuscated Code Competition

Lol, I occasionally write code like that by accident

self-documenting code at its finest!!

omg...

I like medium level languages. If you go really low level then everything gets hard to understand. This is a well written hello world program

Code:

title Hello World Program
dosseg
.model small
.stack 100h
.data hello_message db 'Hello, World!',0dh,0ah,'$'
.code
main  proc
  mov ax,@data
  mov ds,ax
  mov ah,9
  mov dx,offset hello_message
  int 21h
  mov ax,4C00h
  int 21h
  main endp
end main

You guys remember Qbasic, you could put your entire program in one line of code as long as you put a colon between statements.

Code:

DECLARE SUB Greet():DIM SHARED greeting$ = "Hello World":CALL Greet():SYSTEM:SUB Greet():? greeting$:END SUB

QBasic! Those were the days.

Yeah, I loved how we had to identify each symbol's type with a % for integer, & for floats, and $ for strings.

Ah, those old days. Thankfully, with Perl, we've learned our... oh wait...

lol... that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I just started taking a some community college class on Perl to expand my computer knowledge.

Perl is great for hacking up a quick script to do some weird slicing, etc. that's more sophisticated than you can achieve with the likes of sed/awk. It's just when someone spits out an oxymoron like "Object-Oriented Perl" that I start twitching.
