Don't know what book I want yet, but I'm coding for this little challenge. Something for me to do. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Started today... Should be done in a day or two depending how much time I throw at it.

You've still got about two weeks, Denis. I'm anxious to see your code! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Btw, all, we've received another entry today! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Can this be a PHP driven progie? You'd have to run it in a web browser....

Output must be to a console. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif Sorry dood. Is PHP standard to any distro?

Its standard to Mandrake, after all is there really any need to bother with any other? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I wasn't going to do this, but then i thought about it for a while and I think i have some evil plans that might just work nicely. The only thing that matters is code character size? Hmm... c++ maybe even. Anyway, i'm going to give it a try this weekend. (This weekend meaning friday-sunday :)

Ha! I win. I used my own genetic code, so there are no lines to count. All I needed was a few feet of 1 inch masking tape http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

Hmph, sorry, I'm going to have to decline this one. I'm getting way too into cryptography right now (when I originally say the "The Code Book" story on /. and read their description, I was very intrigued and I have checked out two library books on the subject now).

Actually, hey ... this topic might logically lead to a second programming challenge ... hmmm...

It is when you compile it in with apache and mysql...

you can write it in php, just compile php as a cgi-binary and put it in /usr/bin
then your file would be,

#!/usr/bin/php
<?
code
?>

duh.

i have a lot of php based scripts that dont use apache or a web browser to be ran.

i could write what you want in php with little problem, but it wouldnt win because you can write it smaller in C and other languages.

[Phuzon]

Hmm... To enter, or not to enter, that is the question.

Nah, to busy working on skatetown.

[TheLinuxDuck]

Only six days left in the contest, and I still need 1 more entry to make 5!!!
