I don't want to sound offensive, but do wonder what is the purpose of this exercise? Is there any problem this project is solving? Or is it 'just' for educational purpose?

Day 163: Project complete. Strength nearly gone. Must.. complete... evaluation.... Data structures, godawful... string handling, non-existent... writing a brainfuck interpreter, gigantic pain in the ass.... Conclusion: this better get me laid. Oh sh.. signal lost
If that doesn't work for you think of it as art. Not everything has to have a direct purpose.
If it was fun developing or fun doeing something so strange, than this was the purpose.
I really don't like it if purpose is reduced to getting richer, making career or impressing other people.
If people think that's the purpose, than they might loose the purpose of life.
At least I'm impressed.
Also nice ascii art.
Its not educational, its b0w b3f0r3 m4h sk1llz!
I must also agree with one of the posts here... It is art. Its geek art but it really is art. Judges who say source code is not art should also admit michalengelo was just some asshole who put grafitti on some holy buildings.
Michelangelo's frescoes were commissioned. I utterly fail to see why anyone should admit they were graffiti.

The negatives confuse the sentence, but that was his point. Michelangelo's works were not graffiti, and similarly source code should be considered art, even if it is geek art.
