Next Challenge

[LooseCaboose]

Not so much just difficult to read, but difficult to understand what the program does and how it works. For example this one line won the first ioccc competion:

Code:

int i;main(){for(;i["]<i;++i){--i;}"];read('-'-'-',i+++"hell\
o, world!\n",'/'/'/'));}read(j,i,p){write(j/p+p,i---j,i/i);}

Understanding that it prints "Hello World" on the console isnt too difficult at a glance, understanding how its done is slightly harder. Note that the string "HelloWorld" is a parameter to the read call (You would expect a write or a printf?)

Basic guidelines are an obfuscated program should still be difficult to understand once it has been indented correctly, useless lines removed, and variables renamed.

The real competition would be to see if anyone can actually obfuscate QB code, C in particular is easy to obfuscate but QB should require a bit more thought.
