write the most dense, unreadable code in existence

blow my brains out

[obtuse lava]

alright i already cant compete with that

[tardy mica]

Free models scripts r very good in this topic

[bold nebula]

Or roblox old gear code lol

[steady prairie]

goto _ end 💔

[sinful gust]

Imagine writing something so readable

I'm impressed

My question though is does it even work?

;::_::;

That looks like a pretty obvious syntax error to me

[steady prairie]

can you double cast?

[tall ether]

Ya

You can do double cast, I think.

[brazen mural]

so i ran my wip gun engine client code through luaobsufcator

here ya go

[steady prairie]

GET OUT

[lean gulch]

base obfuscation be like

based*

[steady prairie]

more like

most obfuscated code vs least obfuscated toolbox code

Ive already seen them use m1-m150 in toolbox

it wasn't even their goal to obfuscate...

[lean gulch]

huh

what

Obfuscated code is literally unreadable code. That’s the whole point of it.

Nothing beats obfuscated code

[cinder dome]

Wha

[sinful gust]

Y'all think that's bad?

It's not dense, but it is horrendous

[sinful gust]

But did you find this in an actual code base?
Also, if you click the edit button on attached files, you can edit the extention to get syntax highlighting on text files

[steady prairie]

it's not really that bad but gives the same vibe

[sinful gust]

fr

[lost verge]

its obfuscated

[lost verge]

cuz of all the indenting

[sharp shale]

defeats the point

[steady prairie]

true

cuz no one wrote that

it is auto generated

the post clearly states "write"

if you hand craft the obfuscation it counts

[sharp shale]

esoteric code golf is cool

[steady prairie]

brainfuck my beloved 😍

🔥

[steady prairie]

obfuscated breh

doesn't count

[main cradle]

damn

alright give a second

lemme do something outrageous

[steady prairie]

what even is ::ro::

do these even execute

I thought that was invalid syntax

[main cradle]

i think its lua

not luau

[steady prairie]

ohhh

[main cradle]

thats why it has goto as well

[steady prairie]

makes sense

didnt even see the goto

[main cradle]

i give up i cant write unreadable code

[steady prairie]

it's like musicians having hard time sounding bad

[steady prairie]

like a random dash code from toolbox would probably do a lot better job at looking bad

even if you tried you wouldn't be able to do it because how painful it is

wtf is this

by Roblox???

it's just a helper module with a bunch of features implemented

like zip and shit

[main cradle]

bro toolbox is full of OUTRAGEOUS code

its so funny

[steady prairie]

lmao

for reall

I sometimes get random scripts from toolbox and format them just for fun

to see what it looks like if it was properly indented

it still looks horrendous

💀

[main cradle]

😭

[wraith ginkgo]

I think obfuscators should not be allowed its gotta be actual code you wrote

[steady prairie]

agreed

[midnight dirge]

If Dead.Value == true do print("dead") DeadEvent:FireServer() end

If Dead.Value == true do print("dead") end If Dead.Value == true do DeadEvent:FireServer() end

this exists, found it in a fwee model

not the upper case If

how is this valid code bro
