Obfuscated Code Contest

[Stack Overflow]

Hello,

To answer your questions:

How might I go about writing obfuscated code? I don't exactly understand how to make it hard to read.

» Obfuscated code, for instance, looks like this in general. To best describe Obfuscated code, I would say it is a "concealment of evidence" and harder to "reverse engineer".

Can we assume that all OS's you will try the code on use ASCII system??

» Well, as of the moment, I believe the answer is yes. Just use standard C functions and calls and it should compile without a problem on any C compiler.

Does it have to print the literal string "Hello, World!" or does something that can be read as it (ASCII art) suffice?

» It can be done either way. ASCII art is cool, and I would definetly have to give extra bonus points for that.

cool contest.. i'm in


I think the fun part would be seeing everyone's ideas when the contest is over.

(author permitting)

» Sounds like a good idea. This way we can all see multiple ways to making a Hello World program.
