My only complaint is that I don't have the ability to upvote it multiple times. :-) That is absolutely incredible. Good work!!

Really slick! Only had to change clear to cls as I have a PC.
s/PC/DOS or Win32 based PC/;
PCs can run many different operating systems, and Windows is just one of them. Unixish operating systems use "clear", DOS (and Win32) systems use "cls", but it can be something completely different. If you want to extend your computer (or PC :) knowledge, or just dislike Windows' instability, try some operating systems, like Linux or FreeBSD. Many are free.

Fantastic Len!!
recently at my first day in my new job my boss said we going to require you to do mostly perl programming. I said no problem always willing to learn a new language. He said we expect you to be up too this level in a few weeks and showed me this code.
Frightened the life out of me.
Cool code though. :-) | [reply] |

Sounds like a cool place to work in :)

Easily the strangest thing I've seen in code.
Jolly good work, Len. | [reply] |

What were you drinking when you thought this up, though? :)

I lost an hour playing with this code this morning. Now I feel a strange compulsion to ++ all your nodes. | [reply] |

In an effort to understand what is going on here, I decided to put the code in a more readable format
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_='
$q="\47";
while($; = $z+ =.5){
%c = $r = 0;
$/="";
while(20+$z>($;+=.05)){
$c
{ int $_ + 26 + 2 * ($r += .02) * sin $; }
{ 1 - $_ + 10 + int $r * cos $; }
= 1for(0..1)
}
$t = reverse;
$/ .= `clear` . "#!/usr/bin/perl\n\$_=$q\n";
for $y (1..20){
$c{$_}{$y}
? $/ .= chop $t
: ($/ .= "\40")for(0..53);
$/.="\n"
}
print "$/$q;s;" .chr(92). "s;;g;eval\n"
}
';
s;\s;;g;eval
Quite amazingly it prints the same image in this format. I think it has to do with the sin/cos.
Two things I am unfamiliar with, the $; variable and this line:
s;\s;;g;eval
Big props BTW

Yeah, um... on Windows NT it looks like crap... too bad there isn't a way to clear the window. | [reply] |
