Original:
I'd like to start a Code Golf thread. Only problem is that I can't think of a good project. :(

Any ideas?

I think this would be a fun way to pass time at work or between questions while picking up programming techniques.
Let the games begin!

Go on rosettacode.org -- look at either the "classics" (like ROT13) already solved in AHK, or something not yet solved in AHK. Uberi and I did a few challenges over IRC a while back. (He always beat me :P)

Here's a golf-challenge: make a quine as short as possible.

filecopy,%a_scriptname%,5


fragman has me beat by a few characters. Is any output type allowed, meaning is his message box the same as my copied file as far as the rules go?

Edit:
I spoke too soon, now mine is shorter. 8)

I made a thread called "Are you: Just Another AutoHotkey Hacker?" which is code-golf-like. There are probably some AutoHotkey-specific techniques in there which may come in handy. You could also get ideas from codegolf.se.

Hmm I guess it would be up to opinion. :wink:
Code:
MsgBox % FileOpen("f.txt","r").Read()
38 characters. :wink:

Your script requires a specific filename...If you wanted, you could remove the extension to save 4 characters.

@Mickers Not to nitpick, but you have my quine as 26 characters. It is only 25.

And could you provide more information regarding the second challenge. As it is now both the description and rules are rather ambiguous.

It's not nitpicking. :)
If it's not a rule or in the description then you're free to do it. Just try to be as inventive as possible. :wink:
