Once got 3rd place in a company "code golf". It was open to any language or platform.

I built a functional minesweeper game in Excel with 600 lines of code, complete with color and animation.

The JavaScript version won with 342 lines.

plus points coz u excelled at it. :)

Excellent.

@NoNameCode It was definitely more difficult but at the time, I remember the requirement that we were supposed to use the language we were most comfortable with. I was just a QA analyst back then and Excel was my specialty.

I also thought it'd be pretty funny to demonstrate. I never expected it win anything, especially in a PHP/JS shop.

@simeg, heh. #iSeeWhatYouDidThere
