The Challenge

Let's get down to business. You hate me, /prog/, and I hate you. Being a Calculus, I am unsatisfied with my programming skill and seek improvement. I challenge any of you who take pride in your skill with C to engage in the following game:

- Put down a challenge. A criteria for a program that both of us shall implement with C.
- Wait for me to accept your challenge. I don't accept those stupid challenges you find on that project euler website. Math doesn't interest me, "such that there exists"-boys. The exercises in K&R2 and, perhaps simple Unix programs, are good examples of the kinds of programs that interest me. You know, useful ones.
- Post your code.
- Wait for me to post my code.

If your program is fancier than my own and yields little criticism from one Lambda A. Calculus, I shall leave /prog/. I'm open to other stakes as well.

I await your challenges and, if any stupid stack boys want to challenge me, go for it.

NO FUCKING SIMULATORS. REAL FUCKING PROGRAMS. TEXT PROCESSING UTILITIES: COMMENT STRIPPERS, TOKENISERS, WORD/SENTENCE/KEYWORD/WORD FREQUENCY COUNTERS, PREPROCESSORS. EMULATORS FOR SIMPLE CHIPSETS. NETWORK PROGRAMS. SIMPLE GAMES. CALCULATORS/SIMPLE INTERPRETERS. FUCKING USEFUL PROGRAMS THAT 90% OF YOU ARE ALL TOO RETOIDED TO HANDLE; NO USELESS PROJECT EULER 'PROBLEMS'. OF COURSE, IT CAN'T BE RIDICULOUSLY COMPLICATED THAT IT SPANS OVER 1000 LINES OF CODE. I JUST WANT TO SEE WHETHER ANY OF YOU FUCKERS ACTUALLY KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND C. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THE ONES WHO CLAIM TO KNOW C ARE JUST A BUNCH OF STACK BOYS WHO HAVENT RED DA FUCKIN STANDARD, AND ALL THE WIMPS ARE USELESS MATH BOYS WHO PLAY PROJECT EULER ALL DAY LONG.
