DNA (sorta)

Okay, this is a little two line program that outputs a never-ending double helix:

{@a=(' ')x18;$a[int(sin($_/2)*9)+9]=$a[int(cos($_/2)*
9)+9]='*';print@a;print"\n";for(1..10**5){}$_++;redo}

Nice. I munged it a bit and tossed out your @a in favor of some more obfued ones.... `{$#==18,local@[[sin($-/2)9+9,cos($-/2)9+9]=('')x2,s] ]@{[}$/]x,print;$-++;$_=$;;1for(1..10*5);redo}` [download] -Blake	[reply] [d/l]

added @a again 'in favor of' printing some text.. I haven't obfued it any further that u did though. `{@a=split'','just another perl hacker'unless@a; $#==18,local@[[sin($-/2)9+9,cos($-/2)9+9]=(shift @a)x2,s]]@{[}$/]x,print;$-++;$_=$;;1for(1..10**5);redo}` [download] He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

I like it! Of course, that leaves the door wide open for something like this: `{($_='Yw^xUabcdtefgdijktljkotiersjkUzxTyvlkbfdtcierstajogvPruntRshackR +Jelov') =~ y&RTUv;wxYz$& ~'/;$=()x;$&;eval;$_=$@;@a=split'',$^unless@a;$#== 18,local@[[sin($-/2)9+9,cos($-/2)9+9]=(shift@a)x2,s]]@{[}$/]x,print ;$-++;$_=$;;1for(1..10**5);redo}` [download] (japh borrowed from anonymonk at Optical Illusion) -Blake	[reply] [d/l]
