Pointless

I am working on an open-source project developing a presentation program based on a somewhat different idea than other such programs you may know, e.g. PowerPoint. Go have a look at the pointless project page.

Perl

Presentations: These are slides and postscript files for a few blitz-style Perl presentations. The presentations are done using the program MagicPoint (yes, way before the pointless project was started). Use at own risk.

JAPH's: See the perl FAQ for an explanation of the JAPH concept.

  • The Dymo
    $|=$b=32;($m="Just another perl hacker,")=~s/(.)( ?)/$a=ord($1)-$b;do{select$x,
    $x,$x,.1;print"\010".chr($b+($a>0?$_:-$_))}for+1..abs($a);print" $2";$b+=$a/ge;
    
  • The Matrix (also see this image!)
    $|=($m="Just another perl hacker,")=~s/./$& /g;for(-85..0){($n=$m)=~s/(.)/($a=
    ord($1)+$_)>64?chr($a):" "/ge;print $n."\n";select$x,$x,$x,.05;}
