How To Write Unmaintainable Code

Hi everyone. :)

Some programmer's are masters in writing unmaintainable code. And for the rest of us, I recommend reading How To Write Unmaintainable Code.

Just for some fun. :D

Java is a sissy language when it comes to some real men obfuscation. C is much better at this, especially good ol' K&R C. Here's an example:

Code:

---

main(o,O0)char**O0;{int OO,O;O=--o?atoi(O0[!0]):!
0;for(o=((OO=O*O)-O+!0+!0)>>!0;OO;o+=((--OO%O)?-!
0:((((o-!0)%O)?O:0)+!0))-(((o-!0)%O)?O:0)){printf
("\n%*d "+!!(OO%O),!0<<!0<<!0,o+=(o<!0)?O*O:0);}}

This thingy prints out a magic square of odd size without using any memory proportional to the size of the square. Try to do that in Java ;-)

well that is not understandable for me :P

but this can be useful if im making a game for example, and i want to protect hackers to change their scores.

instead of declaring score like this

Code:

---

if (playerkill==1) {
score ++;
}

---

i could do it like this

Code:

---

if (cookieeaten==1) {
playerWeight ++;
}

---

when a hacker goes looking for something to change his score what would he think?
