Strange Code Illusion

[Zenogear11]

I was just messing around with 2 liners and made this. Watch the screen for 20-30 seconds and the 2's and 0's seem to morph together in some strange illusion. It happened for me (VC++6) lemme know your rusults:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
	long int count;
	for(count=2; count <= 10000000; count= count^2)
		cout << count << endl;
	return 0;
}

i see pink elephants and purple cows ...

hehe, i actually did it, but it just looks like a bunch of numbers to me .. maybe it has to do with the speed of your processor.

why did you use iostream.h?

I'm guessing an optical illusion, though it might just be me.

j/k

Anyhoo, I like that number stream effect.
It's nifty and spiffy... at the same time!

Much enjoyment this has been.

I just saw a bunch of numbers, I was wondering if there was supposed to be a certain image to look for. ah well..
