In honor of The IOCCC I decided one day to write my own obfuscated C program. So I started with a lot of random junk and modified it until it did what I wanted, then I revised the code quite a few times (5 times, to be exact). And finally, I ended up with what I'm going to consider my first obfuscated C program, which I named, "red owl":

main(){int a=0x1612b9b1;putchar((a>>16)<<2);do putchar("red owl"[a&7]);while(a>>=3);}


If you can't guess what it does, go ahead and run it. It's a very simple idea, and just an interesting take on an old trick.
Feel free to write and post your own odd creations, as well!

It says "Hello world". I figured it out myself via manual bit shifting.

I'm too lazy to compile that program.

Yep, that's it.

What's the point of this? Nobody can read your code anyway.

You should see the source for my disassembler control. It actually contains spaces! And comments!
