Not really code but a changelog, I think it qualifies.

Code:

- Split off blueprints from archetypes. Finally blueprints can be targeted by modifiers \o/
- Just remembered I haven't coded in modifiers yet FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[zamp]

Code:

throw Error("Holy shit");

[Ishi]

I found a comment at the top of a file that I wrote about a year ago and then forgot about.

Code:

// cEasyMenu
// "It really takes the misery out of making menus"

also, this is the best magic number ever created apparently:

Code:

i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the fuck?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root

That was fun to skim through.

Not my code, but the xv6 teaching operating system's code contains lines like

Code:

panic("zombie exit");

(referring of course to zombie processes and not an unintended breach in undead containment protocols)

[J. Kyle Pittman]

Code:

DoThisEveryTimeBecauseImDumb.loadBMP("map_tiles.bmp");

[ChevyRay]

Had this sitting in my code forever before I noticed it, heh.

Code:

Scene girl = new SceneGirl();

[Aynslei]

I wanted a simple way to show the first year kids how to check if a section of code has run once before.......

boolean firstTime = true;

Which would later be turned into.

firstTime = false;

I am so bad.

[ChevyRay]

Haha that is beautiful.

[Hangedman]

now that's some nice 'spaghetti logic' 

[eclectocrat]

Code:

self.help = Book()

[ThemsAllTook]

Not quite code, but closely related: I was having trouble finding the right word for something, so I looked it up in a thesaurus...before I realized how ridiculous it was to do that for something that was going into an svn commit message. Which has a vanishingly small chance of ever being read again.

[J-Snake]

Here's another marvel from my side, including extremely long, nested expressions, magical numbers and the same values calculated more than once, and other stuff. Hey, I just wanted to make sure that it actually worked, before I, possibly, wasted time on making it pretty!



Did it work? Yes!

Wow, I wish the code of my first game 10 years ago would be that nicely structured. ASM-spaghetti deluxe!

[Dan Cardin]

I only ever laugh at my code when it works the first time i run it.

[mokesmoe]

Not really code, but I managed to upload a build of a game that crashed when you died because I completely forgot to code the death. (I was good at playing it from testing so I never noticed.)

[Mikademus]

Code:

static sf::Shape *pERect;

Fyi, the 'E' is the typo.

[Sakar]

Code:

	void Entity::draw()
	{
		glPushMatrix();
			glTranslatef(x, y, 0);
			glRotatef(rot, 0, 0, 1);
			glScalef(scale, scale, scale);

			glColor3ub(color.getRed(), color.getGreen(), color.getBlue());
			if(graphic == NULL)  
				glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
			else			 
				glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, graphic->getId());
			Spritemap* sm = static_cast<Spritemap*>(graphic);
			glBegin(GL_QUADS);
				if(typeid(graphic).name() == "Texture*") 
					glTexCoord2i(0, 1); 
				else 
					glTexCoord2f(sm->getFrame().x, sm->getFrame().h);
				glVertex2i(-width/2,	 height/2);

				if(typeid(graphic).name() == "Texture*") 
					glTexCoord2i(1, 1); 
				else
					glTexCoord2f(sm->getFrame().w, sm->getFrame().h);
				glVertex2i( width/2,	 height/2);

				if(typeid(graphic).name() == "Texture*") 
					glTexCoord2i(1, 0); 
				else
					glTexCoord2f(sm->getFrame().w, sm->getFrame().y);
				glVertex2i( width/2,	-height/2);

				if(typeid(graphic).name() == "Texture*") 
					glTexCoord2i(0, 0); 
				else
					glTexCoord2f(sm->getFrame().x, sm->getFrame().y);
				glVertex2i(-width/2,	-height/2);
			glEnd();
		glPopMatrix();
	}

I...just no

[roboprez]

I was looking back on some random level generation code I had made and I found this.

Code:

if (CAPCOM == 0) {
	if(tunnels[cT].dir==0){
		height = rand(rSizeMin, rSizeMax)
		(... more code)

Wait CAPCOM? 

Code:

}else if (CAPCOM == 1 ||CAPCOM == 2)
	//Put on another corridor
	{
		var randN:int = new int()
		var tunnelDir:int = new int()
		if (tunnels[cT].dir == 0) {
			randN = rand(0, 1)
			width = rand(tWidthMin, tWidthMax)
			(blah blah blah)

 

After a good half hour I worked out that CAPCOM was the result of a dice roll that chooses how many kinks the corridors have. 

And I called it CAPCOM...

[mokesmoe]

I had some functions inside functions, and it was really hard to read what part did what. Then I had an an idea, and this happened:

Code:

        motion_add
        (
            point_direction
            (
                x+(sprite_width/2),
                y+(sprite_width/2),
                other.x+(other.sprite_width/2),
                other.y+(other.sprite_height/2)
            ),
            (other.sprite_width*other.sprite_height*.8)/
            (
                point_distance
                (
                    x+8,
                    y+8,
                    other.x+(other.sprite_width/2),
                    other.y+(other.sprite_height/2)
                )
                *100
            )
        )

At least I can read it now.

[rivon]

I don't get it. Also, is that Flash or GM? Or something else?

[Mikademus]

I think motion_add is a function that takes the result of a number of calculation as parameters and that he used parentheses around them and indented the calculations as line code for readability.
