This may have been done...I think I recall something like it but I searched and didn't find it.
Anywho, I want you folks to design a Pong game, but code it as annoyingly and obscurely as possible. That means loads of GOTO's and useless obscurification, as confusing as possible.
The rules:
a) Must be FB compatible
b) No non-native libs allowed, only the built-in FB lib.
c) May be for one or two players, but if it's for two players they must both be humans. No AI allowed.
d) Only three seperate statements on each line. That is to say, only 2 colons ":" are allowed. Example: print "hello":print "world":print "dude" is allowed, but nothing more.
How is pong for one person without an AI opponent? You play against the wall or what?
i didnt write this pong, i took it from ABC, but heres a quick jobbie using define
Code:
#define biff Locate
#define bibble Option Explicit
#define chog Screen 12
#define z Dim Shared
#define y As Integer
#define x As Single
#define w Case
#define v gg = gg +
#define u End Sub
#define t Select
#define s As String
#define r Sub
#define q ee + 20
#define p If
#define o Line
#define n Circle
#define m CHR$(255)
#define l Then
#define k Print
#define j Loop
#define i End
#define h Else
#define g Sleep
#define f ()
#define e INKEY$
#define d Do
#define c Until
#define a To
#define kjh OR
#define kjj - 20
#define cof cc = cc * -1
#define bof dd = dd * -1

Precisely.
Yetifoot: heheh, that's a start. Now ruin it more with gotos.
im kicking myself really cause the original program was all gotos, real spaghetti stuff, and for some dumb reason i sat there and subbed it all!!
Code:
Screen 18,,,1 : Cls
points = 0
Goto begin:
start:
Cls
Line (0,playery)-(10,playery+50), 15,bf
inputsec:
a$ = Inkey$
If a$ = "w" And playery > 0 Then playery-=20
If a$ = "s" And playery < (479-50) Then playery+=20
If a$ = Chr$(27) Then End
Goto ball
ball:
ballx+=ballxvel : bally += ballyvel
Circle (ballx+10, bally+10), 10
Goto collision
endloop:
Locate 1, 35: Print points
Sleep 16 : Goto start
begin:
playery=0
ballx= 10 : bally = 10
ballxvel=5 : ballyvel = 5
Goto start
collision:
If ballx <= 0 Then Goto begin
If ballx <= 10 And bally > playery And bally < playery+50 Then
ballxvel = -ballxvel
points+=1
End If
If bally <= 0 Then ballyvel = -ballyvel
If ballx >= 639 Then ballxvel =-ballxvel
If bally >= 479 Then ballyvel = -ballyvel
Goto endloop
Bounce the ball off the wall. Each time you bounce the ball off the paddle, you get a point. Use the lower-case 'w' and 'a' keys to move the paddle up and down. Took me about half an hour to write.

Doesn't this sorta defeat a major obfuscation technique?
Wow... my head hurts now.
drawing on yeti's idea (this also breaks the rule, but what the hell)
