I found this website for the ioccc with some funky code, check out previous years winners..

i found this one to be the coolest, but takes a while to understand, reading this might help a lot...

Note to self: When professors complain about lack of comments, show them this. Maybe we have a new art form here...

It's been going for years. My personal favourite is the 1988 winner, the 12 days of Christmas. I've attached a zip file containing the program and the output.

Note that I didn't write this, nor could I, I just like it.

OH MY GOD!!! Slarty, where did you find that? Do you know who wrote it? It's FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! hahaha!

PS: I had to compile it to convince myself that that even did something!!!

Geez!! I agree! I'm compiling it in 3....2.....1....!
