One liner contests have been around for a while. I entered a one liner contest for the TRS-80 Color Computer in a magazine back in the mid 80's (Hot Coco, The Rainbow, 80 Micro, I can't remember now). My entry won third place. In 255 characters I somehow managed to create an archery game where you shot 5 arrows at a circular target. You used a joystick to try and center the crosshairs on the target and the longer you waited to fire the worse the drift got. I wish I still had that code or could at least remember which magazine and year/month it was in.
