This is the most esoteric C project that has ever existed.
This features a semi-quine (or should I say 'super-quine'??), IOCCC style programming, file that generate files, cheap encryption algorithms, and finally colour magic on the terminal.
Please do watch it here.
I've tested this on Windows 10, WSL 2, Ubuntu 5.0.17, compiling using gcc
apparently with c99
standards.
It's highly likely that this will crash somewhere on other compilers or OS's. Portability was not the concern for this project.
Now, in case you still want to follow, please do (Unix ofc):
touch me.c
gcc make.c -o make.out -w
./make.out > me.c
Delete the first few lines of me.c
, from the first line up to the second #include <stdio.h>
, using your preferred editor.
touch tao.bfk
gcc bfk.c -o bfk.out -w
./bfk.out > tao.bfk
gcc me.c -o me.out -w
Make your terminal font very very small.
./me.out
Enjoy.
