Jind Markus Triska (AT) Prix Ars Electronica 2001 Golden Nica "Cybergeneration u19 - freestyle computing"
In the winter of 1999, I was involved in syntax analysis (parsing). In order to find out whether I had really understood the methods presented in the book Algorithmen in C by Robert Sedgewick, I wanted to write a program interpreter. In honor of the occasion, I called the program written in the programming language “C” “Cind” (Christkind). It soon turned out that I had not understood the methods presented, but for the simple application case of the Christmas angel lost in a labyrinth, it was still sufficient (although the archaic black and white display may not appeal as much to the uninitiated as it does to me, the proud author).
