Sorting things out
Technically.
Sorting algorithms employ multiple approaches to complete the same task: put things in order.
Up to date, I’ve managed to master 3 techniques, two of which were my own idea (which happen to overlap with the world’s two simplest sorting techniques). Below is the source code for all three.
Moar Sorting
To continue from before, I’m now up to 6/13 sorting algorithms.
Below will be the new ones in Python and then everything in Java flavor.
Tetris Printer Algorithm
Interesting (if almost pointless) demonstration of code which can construct images based on the rules of Tetris:
By rotating, positioning and dropping a predetermined sequence of pieces, the Tetris Printer Algorithm exploits the mechanics of Tetris to generate arbitrary bitmap images.

諸君！オレは天才かもしれない。このソートアルゴリズムをみてくれ。こいつをどう思う？
#!/bin/bash
function f() {
sleep “$1”
echo “$1”
}
while [ -n “$1” ]
do
f “$1” &
shift
done
wait
