Visually-Interlaced Mesmerizing Japh

by liverpole (Monsignor)
on Sep 02, 2006 at 22:04 UTC ( [id://570893]=obfuscated: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

This Japh needs gvim 7.0 installed.  (Note that it has to be version 7.0; earlier versions won't support the scripting commands used).

When I wrote this Japh, I didn't know any vim-scripting, so I had to take a more basic approach.  Shortly afterwards I devised the algorithm for this one, and thought if I could learn enough vim scripting commands, it shouldn't take more than a couple of days to program.  Surprisingly, it took a lot longer than expected, but partly because, as it evolved, I kept wanting to get it "just right".  One challenge was "golfing" the vim script to make it all fit into the Japh.  (If you know any vim commands, you'll see a lot of command abbreviations :-D).

It's been tested on both Windows and Linux.  When you get tired of watching it run, just type ^C to stop.  It does create a temp file "v.tmp" which can be deleted afterwards.  If there's any interest, I may also provide the "meta-program" which generates the Japh.  Of course, it would be fun to see if anyone can figure out the mechanics of how it works first.

    Pretty darn cool. I don't know VI very well and script at all, so not even trying to decipher this :) But definately enjoyed watching it!

    This is one of the most colorful japhs I've seen. I'll be taking a close look at this one later to see how you managed to pack so much information in only a page full of text.
    ++Excellent work!

Is that a camel I see?

    I see a camel in the code itself.
