In C, for X Windows.
Not a good example of a proper C program.
But this obfuscated code is pretty cool.
Is said to really work.
winning entry in the 1998 ‘International Obfuscated
C Code Contest’ (IOCCC), in the ‘Best of Show’ category.

If you ever questioned why Chip designed Spin so that
sensible formatting was required..this is why :-)

X Windows? So this will actually compile and run on Linux?

From the looks of it, I'd say one should never trust a computer programmer to make it easy to share their code.

HollyMinkowski

Yes, it runs on Linux.
Contest entries are required to actually work.

This is a graphical virtual simulation of a plane
called a Piper Cherokee..in actual flight.

The interesting thing is that this program is perfectly readable to a C programmer. The indent utility would pretty it up for the rest of the world to read. To me, this actually shows the advantage of using a block-delimited syntax versus one that uses indentation.
