About the Contest:

The Spaghetti Code Contest challenges participants to write the most obfuscated (difficult to read or understand) code possible while also finding and understanding the outputs of others’ codes. It’s a mix of creating complex problems and cracking codes. Creating such complex code is a fun and creative challenge that tests our coding skills in a very unique way.

Program Descriptions

This repository contains two programs, each from a different year of the contest.

• tamzi-manzel-vazin-2025.cpp: A program from the 2025 contest. When compiled and run, it prints 9 3 (with a non-printable character between the numbers) to the console.
• vazin-tamiz-manzel-2023.cpp: A program from the 2023 contest. When compiled and run, it prints 2L6 to the console.

Source Code Documentation

As per the contest's spirit, the source files are not commented. Instead, the documentation is provided here.

tamzi-manzel-vazin-2025.cpp

This is an obfuscated C++ program from the Spaghetti Code Contest.

• Purpose: The program is intentionally written in a confusing and unreadable style as part of a programming contest. It uses macros, goto statements, and other tricks to hide its true purpose. When compiled and executed, it produces the output "9 3" (with an unprintable character between the numbers) to the standard output.
• Functions:
  • int main(): The main entry point of the program.
    • Parameters: None.
    • Returns: 0 upon successful execution.

vazin-tamiz-manzel-2023.cpp

This is another obfuscated C++ program from the Spaghetti Code Contest.

• Purpose: Similar to the 2025 version, this program is designed to be as unreadable as possible. When compiled and run, it prints "2L6" to the console.
• Functions:
  • int main(): The main entry point of the program.
    • Parameters: None.
    • Returns: 0 upon successful execution.

Usage

To compile and run these programs, you will need a C++ compiler (like g++).
