Re: Somersaulting camel

[hacker]

Oddly enough, a quick google search returned the same code, from a gentleman named Andrew Savige. If you are Andrew, let us please see some of your other wonderful snippets.

If you are not Andrew, he has been contacted. Proper attribution of his hard work would have been in order. Plagarism is not a trait well-respected here.

It is not a plagiarist (oops, maybe I am a plagiarist by using ideas from Euridil's original camel code and from Len's clever use of clear).

If you look closely, however, you will notice that this post is different from the usenet one (a bug-free version of which can be found in Acme::EyeDrops documentation). The usenet post can generate many different camels, based on command-line switches. This one takes no command-line arguments, just tries to show a camel somersaulting across the screen. I just realised the second frame should show the camel jumping up in the air a bit, so I will try to fix that, so stay tuned for a "camel series". :) I can't fix it easily because I have run out of characters, need to do some golfing on it first.

Because of a bit of confusion and the lack of a signiture this was red flagged. I contacted Andrew by email and he confirmed that this is his post. I hope this wasn't unjustly --'ed I had suggested leaving the post alone until we knew the facts, but a reply was posted already.

Sorry for any confusion. Welcome eyepopslikeamosquito you've got my ++ for an awesome obfu.
