The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) is a worldwide
contest held amongst C hackers to push the boundaries of hard-to-read and unusual C code. There are
various rules and asdf for contest entries, in particular, the size of the entry is limited to 2048
bytes.
I entered the 2001 IOCCC and was awarded the
Best curses Game
prize for my
Network Pong
entry.
The program is a two-player networked version of the eighties
arcade classic, "pong". It uses standard TCP sockets to
communicate over the net, and ncurses for display. It supports
variable terminal sizes (though both players must have the same
terminal size) and game speeds. Each player has a paddle to hit
the ball, and you get points for getting the ball past your
opponent's paddle. It's pretty fun! :)
You can get
the code,
a Makefile and
a README (of sorts).
As per the IOCCC rules, the code is in the public domain.
