Konami Code – Unicorn Blitz

So last night I hacked up possibly my favorite project either. The Konami Unicorn Blitz.

This sprang out of a post I saw on Boing Boing about their new keyboard shortcuts.

“Reminder! You can now jump between posts on the front door of Boing Boing by hitting J and K. It should work on most browsers. Any similar UI requests? Under consideration: L to go to the next 30 posts; and the Konami Code to trigger a unicorn invasion.“

So I implemented it, it wasn’t hard just a matter of finding all the pieces and gluing them together.

You can try it on this site, right now.

Just hit UP – UP – DOWN – DOWN – LEFT – RIGHT – LEFT – RIGHT – B – A

Fantastic!

Awesome C Program

Over lunch today I came across this link on HN: comp.lang.c: For loops help

The request was for a program that would print this:

    *
   ***
  *****
 *******
*********
*********
 *******
  *****
   ***
    *

and the reply was this

#define      M 002354l
#define     A   000644l
#define    G     000132l
#define     I   000322l
#define      C 000374l
 
#define                a ;
#define               b for
#define              c    ++
#define             d       %
#define            e       int
#define           f           ,
#define          g             -
#define         h             011
#define        i                 =
#define       j                   {
#define      k                     )
#define     l                    '\n'
#define    m                      main
#define    n                         <
#define     o                       }
#define      p                     >
#define       q                  &&
#define        r                 (
#define         s              ||
#define          t             ?
#define           u     putchar
#define            v      void
#define             w     '*'
#define              x     :
#define               y ' '
#define                _ /
#define           C_O_O_L return
 
                   e u r e k a
 
                         e
                        m r
                       v k j
                      j j j j
                     j j j j j
                    j j j j j j
                   j j j j j j j
                  j e z a b r z i
                 M _ A _ G _ I _ C
                a z n G a u r z d h
               + z _ h p M _ A q z d
              h + z _ h n M _ G q z _
             h n z d h + M _ I q z _ h
            p z d h g M _ C t w x y k f
           z d h g h + 1 s u r l k f z c
          k a u r l k a j j j j j j j j j
         j j C_O_O_L M _ A _ G _ I _ C a o
        o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
                      o o o o
                      o o o o
                      o o o o
                      o o o o

I went ahead and compiled it, works like a charm:

jmhobbs@katya:~/Desktop$ gcc awesome.c                                                                                                                                                                                  
jmhobbs@katya:~/Desktop$ ./a.out
    *
   ***
  *****
 *******
*********
*********
 *******
  *****
   ***
    *
 
jmhobbs@katya:~/Desktop$

So cool.
