I (and probably others here) would be curious to see what is going on with your code, but when it's just thrown at the community in a big heap, it's not likely to be looked at. Reading raw code isn't much fun. I would suggest Doing these things will make the problem more accssible to the reader, and may even help you understand what's going on in your own code.

You might also want to outline what you have figured out about the problem so far. This is partly to help the reader, and partly to prove that you have invested your own time and interest. Sure, it's both annoying and a waste of your time to have to prove to a bunch of strangers in writing that you have "R'ed the FM" etc., but CS/IT people often seem to demand that proof before deigning to answer questions.
