I've had my posts on the Microsoft forums included as part of the Windows help pages, but that is the closest I've come to being recognized by anyone important.
This is my first attempt at writing obfuscated C code. Please tell me what you think and if you like it!!!!! It took me a long time to figure out the trick =)
int main(){char b[] = {72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33, 42};char* c = b;while (*c != 42){putchar(*c++);}}
I mad...
I have a property (called "Head") that can be set externally. When "Head" is not set, it uses Unity3D's MonoBehaviour functions to try to find the best value for "Head". I started with a nested if, but the nesting was starting to get out of hand.
if (Head == null)
{
Head = this.GetComponent<...

Do I want the code to be good code? (i.e. not code-golfing, obfuscation, or similar)
To me, this part of the check list reads as "Do I want the code to be good code (as opposed to do I want the code to be well-golfed or well-obfuscated)?" I interpret this part of the ...

Community consensus is that obfuscated/golfed code is off-topic on this site, and our help center explicitly states that one of the criteria for on-topic questions is "Do I want the code to be good code? (i.e. not code-golfing, obfuscation, or similar)"; the whole point of this site is to help programmers write better code - golfing & obfuscating code isn't exactly a best practice for writing professional code... we'd be happy to review any of your actual, real project, best-looking working code though =) — Mat's Mug45 secs ago
@Legato I'm going to go through and add comments to each line of the code so if I can't find out what it's trying to accomplish, maybe you can find out
My overall goal is to create a minimum Difference method that separates a group of numbers (represented in ArrayList list) into even (or at least as even as possible) teams. I.E. as shown below, there is a 10, 9, 9, representing balanced teams. However, the section of code I cannot figure out is ...
@SirPython Thanks a lot, by the way. I found what I think are two simple 'challenges' to do, I'm going to try to do them, mind if I run them by you later? Probably not CR worthy stuff since I'm likely going to want to determine whether I'm effectively accomplishing the task in the first place. I've gotta practice somehow.
This has been boggling me for some time now and I can't think of any good solutions to it, at least with would satisfy my twisted mind.
So lets say we have a class Person:
public class Person {
private String firstName;
public Person(String firstName) throws IllegalArgumentException {...
@Mat'sMug This doesn't really explain why asking for help un-golfing code should be off-topic.
And perhaps the best zinger on this I can offer you: If asking for help un-golfing or un-obfuscating code is off-topic because "you'd never write golfed code in a real project", then how come we allow LOLCODE questions? As far as I'm concerned, LOLCODE is obfuscated code, yet LOLCODE is on-topic.
And you want to say that golfed or obfuscated code is off-topic (even when the asker is asking for help making it less golfed or less obfuscated and more readable)?
I'm not arguing that a question asking to make golfed code more golfed should be on-topic. That needs to go to the code-golfing Stack Exchange site.
@SirPython Still around? I have the first half of something that you'll probably find trivial. It's only the first part. I commented in what I think I'm doing vs the code I'm using.

@nhgrif Code Golf related questions are off-topic by community consensus. Just because you have raised the issue again, does not mean it is actively being discussed...
The distinction between ungolfing golfed code, and golfing ungolfed code is not really important.
Why is LOLCODE on topic and ungolfing golfed code not (assuming the question has a clear pseudocode explanation of what it does so there's no question about what the code does and its intent)?
If it isn't presented as "a challenge to understand the golfed code", I can't even fathom what the problem with it could possible be. LOLCODE is still on topic last I checked.
And the correct review to any LOLCODE question is "Write in another language."
1) Write pseudo-code for some particular something. 2) Because you're doing it for a code-golf contest, your original implementation is code-golf. 3) Later, you decide that this particular something that your golfed code does would actually be useful in your other very real project, but you don't want to commit code-golf to that project... so you come to CR to ask for help turning your original golfed implementation into actual commit-able code. — nhgrif23 mins ago
