Songs in Code
#songsincode is a trend which started on Twitter a few weeks ago. The idea is to express the title or lyrics of a song as a computer program. Here’s an example by Roy van Rijn:
for(Leaf leaf:leafs)
{leaf.setColor(new Color(139,69,19));}
sky.setColor(Color.GRAY);
This is California Dreamin’ by the Mamas and Papas, “All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray”. If #songsincode is of interest, here are some of the best collections I’ve found:
- #songsincode - Lyrics for Programmers - a countdown of the finest #songsincode
- songs in code at wee doors banging - a selection of #songsincode by John Girvin
- Songs in Code at Juixe Techknow - an early collection of about 60 #songsincode
- #songsincode on redcode.nl - a selection of #songsincode by Roy van Rijn
