Inspiration
the awesome power of BLAHAJ
What it does
When given a list (either as a file in a parameter or over stdin), it sorts its lines alphabetically, by shuffling them until they are sorted.
How we built it
Bashed it together in a few minutes in bash (pun 100% intended). I used the bash built-in sort
command to check if the list is sorted yet, and the shuf
command to shuffle it.
Challenges we ran into
I forgot to negate the loop's test, so it was shuffling sorted lists, and ignoring unsorted ones.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Writing the whole thing in less than half an hour, while streaming on twitch.
What we learned
How to use OBS to stream to twitch, and how to set up a stream on the website.
What's next for monkey-SHort
The deepest, darkest hole, never to see the light of day, for crimes of O(n!) complexity, and ugliness.
