I've found Ackermann's function to be pretty fun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackerman%27s_function And I think that it's the Sudan function that I like even more, but my memory's a bit sketchy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan_function And if those aren't quite pegging the funometer of your current machine, you can work with these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godel_number ... but I'm afraid that's a bit afield from pygame. > [aside]Dave LeCompte, after reading the rest of your > conversation with Brian, and re-reading my own "fun game" post, > I wan't to clairify that it was just an attempt at friendly > teasing-- I don't intend to be mean-spirited.
