Become a sponsor to International Obfuscated C Code Contest

The goals of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC):

  • To write the most Obscure/Obfuscated C program within the rules.
  • To show the importance of programming style, in an ironic way.
  • To emphasize the value of perspicuous code by use of negative examples.
  • To stress C compilers with unusual code.
  • To illustrate some of the subtleties of the C language.
  • To provide a safe forum for poor C code. :-)
  • To have fun with C!

Enjoy exploring the IOCCC Winning Entries.

Participating in IOCCC will always be free. The Official IOCCC website remains ad-free. Nevertheless, the IOCCC judges, who live on a fixed income, are seeking to cover the costs of running and maintaining the IOCCC through voluntary monthly contributions.

Upon achieving this objective, we will be able to cover the server and software expenses incurred by the IOCCC judges in administering the International Obfuscated C Code Contest and maintaining the IOCCC website. This objective encompasses a 22% allocation for tax and a 6% allocation for the processing fees charged by GitHub.
