  OnLive - The future of gaming

  Below is a video presentation of OnLive^W by Steve Perlman^W. OnLive is gaming platform which uses cloud computing by running games on dedicated servers on which you connect with you own computer or with an OnLive box. The smart thing is that you don’t need a powerhouse at home to play games like Crysis^W, it all runs on the servers of OnLive which are equipped with state of the art graphic cards. The possibilities seem endless! Again it is a long one (48 minutes), but again it is all worth it.

  a_maze_ing

  hi!

  This is my first contribution here. Since i’m occupied with coding most of the time, be prepared for some nerdie/tech stuff from my side. Like this for instance;

  Some people have weird hobbies. One such a hoddy is ‘Code Obfuscation’. This is the art of writing code that’s virtually impossible for anyone (human) to read, but that still compiles into a valid executable.
  There’s serious contests organised around this idea, but i came accross this next example while researching ‘maze algorithms’ (another weird hobby…). It isn’t really Obfuscated Code, but it comes from the same kind of sick mind.

  Take this piece of C code:

  char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[40],T[40];main(C){for(*J=A=scanf(M="%d",&C);
  --            E;             J[              E]             =T
  [E   ]=  E)   printf("._");  for(;(A-=Z=!Z)  ||  (printf("\n|"
  )    ,   A    =              39              ,C             --
  )    ;   Z    ||    printf   (M   ))M[Z]=Z[A-(E   =A[J-Z])&&!C
  &    A   ==             T[                                  A]
  |6<<27<rand()||!C&!Z?J[T[E]=T[A]]=E,J[T[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}
  

  Not only will this compile fine, also the source itsself contains the word “MAZE” (twice actually).
  When you paste this in a textfile (maze.c), compile gcc -o maze maze.c and run it ./maze the output will look something like this: (note: the program waits for a number to be entered before it does anything)
