Hello World: CHALLENGE!!!!!!!

[xilica]

Yep, it may be easy...... but i wanna see who can make write a program which displays the text: Hello World ..... i wanna see who can do this in the LEAST NUMBER of lines possible.

and i want the text to flash !!!! flash as many times as u want.... but i want the text to flash in a consecutive order.. example flash every 1 seoncd... 2 seconds..... i dont care as long as it flashes


seems easy: think again..... the LEAST NUMBER OF LINES POSSIBLe

thank you and have fun

I'll do one in bash.


while true; do echo "hello world"; sleep 1; clear; sleep 1; done


there. One line.

[xilica]

Folks. One of the nice things about this forum is that you can click "My Profile" and then "Edit Ignore List". Using these tools you can easily ignore Xilica (as I do).

Don't feed the trolls.

bash.

[xilica]

what do you mean ignore.. anyway here is my code.... i used a timer:


private sub timer1_timer()
label1.forecolor=rgb(rnd*255,rnd*255,rnd*255)
end sub



by the way, never heard of bash.... seems like a cool language though!!
