Trig or Treat
http://www.thenerdshow.com/trig%20or%20treat.html
One brisk October morn' I chanced upon a discussion on feenode # C. About the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest. Demonstrates some basic trig functions. That's why it's called, Trig or Treat, but it's been so long I forgot what the trick is. Let's save it to a file called halloween.c and find out. To compile it, use any C compiler, such as the free gcc:. Gcc halloween.c -o halloween -lm. Int main(i,r,c){. For(r=0;r 24;r ){. C=(int)(sinf(acosf(r/12.0-1) *24);. For(i=0;i 24-c;i )printf(" ");.

Solar Cooker Projects
http://www.thenerdshow.com/solar%20cooker.html
We recently built a solar cooker and tried it out. The initial design worked better than expected. It made a warm meal, and heated dish water in spite of partially-cloudy weather. If used 50% of the time, a solar cooker could save us an estimated $50 annually in stove fuel. We used a scissors jack to hold up the prototype cooker (pictured). A stand could be made similar to the one illustrated at right, with some modification, of course. Click the image at left to download the printable template. Cut out ...

The Labyrinth ASCII Maze Generator
http://www.thenerdshow.com/maze.html
Today we are going to make javascript ASCII maze text generator. Why? Labyrinths and ASCII mazes are cool and we can incorporate them into other designs, video. Games, and artwork. This js maze algorithm is not unlike the one the mythical artificer, Daedalus, crafted for King Minos of Crete. No ordinary corral, the labyrinth was a maze so complex that even its creator could barely escape it. These mazes are not static pictures. They are blocks. Of ASCII text. I made a js widget, called Amaze. Eventually ...
