Tic-Tac-Toe Implemented In Single Call To Printf():
[Nicholas Carlini] programmed a C implementation of two-player Tic Tac Toe, and he did it in a single call to printf(). The arguments for that single function call get mind-bendingly complex, so it may come as no surprise that it was written for The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC).
Most of us are aware that printf() is one of those functions that is considerably more complex under the hood, and capable of far more, than it may appear to be. But did you know that it is capable of Turing-complete computation?
Can't wait to see the version that can play checkers and chess!

What do you mean? *d is initially 1, so the while loop would be infinite unless there is an assignment of 0 to d[0] at some point, which is probably this obfuscated vm's version of exit().

I was joking. Can you see the :) smiley? Maybe you're not aware of smileys?
