The source code the winning entries in this year’s International Obfuscated C Code Contest is out. These are by far the worst bits of code I’ve seen in a while. Check out this Manga like CRC inserter or this Maze Navigator. The only way this tab/space/linefeed stenographer code could be made less readable would be to write it in Whitespace.
One thing is for sure, the next time I get called to help debug a do-everything-and-then-some-in-the-event-handler application saying “it was the worst code I’ve seen” would be a lie.
