I think so. Send GangsterG any articles/items that you wish to go into the magazine.

I hope I'm not being a buzz kill, but wouldn't a contest testing clean coding skills be more practical? It seems like a lot of the "obfuscated code" examples I've seen are merely naming variables something ridiculous and never pressing the enter key. Writing complicated code is much harder than writing code that looks complicated and it's something you can actually show to an employer.

Hi guys!
I didn't have the chance to read all replies to this topic, as it's late here and I am very tired /just before I go to bed/...anyway, I find the idea of such contest very interesting and actually challanging!
I see some of you submited code that puzzles only at look, because it is unformatted.
But I think there is an art in this kind of contest. The art of obfuscating, which one of my ex-classmates mastered! He always used to write the most puzzeling code I've ever seen, but as Harry Potter fans know- magic does exist, so, his code worked 
Anyway, I don't have time to code now and think much of it, but as general I was thinking of something well formatted, but confusing as actions. For example, I think one can make pretty confusing things with classes and templates. Things that are walking on the 'nerves' of the compiler...things that shouldn't work, but they compile at least.
You got my point? Or I am way too sleepy
P.S. Okay, if I edit that 3 more times, it would be like 5 times! Damn I am sleepy!

Yeah, but there's only so far I'm willing to go for a program that prints a song. I prefer contests where I have to make an algorithm.loobian wrote:...but as general I was thinking of something well formatted, but confusing as actions.

You're in luck beer hunter. The next one will require an algorithm!
