Re: Playing "Write That Code"

Actually, that game more or less exists. It's called "Perl Golf". And code isn't measured in lines, but in characters.

If it was Java, it would probably be measured in pages or COBOL in chapters! CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

To make the game fair, perhaps you should get one character of Perl for every line of another language used. Or as CountZero claims, one character of perl per chapter of COBOL! Anyhow, this was just an idea, sort of a speculation on what would happen if TechTV had really bad game shows :)	[reply]
