Looking for a crazy Programming Contest: Source code in the form of a shape or art form...
-
I remember once seeing a contest about programmers who had to build a (functional) program in any language where the sourcecode was formatted ASCII art or pattern... where typical all the coding guidelines were thrown out and all that matters is that the code "looks pretty" Has anyone seen this contest before? Are there tools out there to convert my code into functional ASCII art?

EDIT - actually my suggestion will not suit you, sorry. Unless you take a screenshot of your code :). Actually I had no idea you could make your code into a picture! ------------ You'll have to go to a website called Code Project - you've probably heard of it ;P : ASCII Art Generator[^] ASCII art with C#[^]

No, the C# language required that it was dumbed down to a specific level that struggles to enforce unreadability.

:confused: psst, have you looked in the C# forum recently?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.
