I think he meant the other TA....

Which in that case...no one knows....

It''s power is only surpassed by it''s mystery

Gamedev for learning.
libGDN for putting it all together.

If you don''t know where TA is then you don''t belong there. So don''t worry about it.

However, feel free to buy some really cool Tiberian Merchandise!

There USED to be a really cool dead cat shirt until I got a cease and decist letter from Nes'' lawyer since it was his picture. Rabble rabble rabble...

Oh well. There''s still plenty of uber cool stuff. Like the "Shit for Brains" Osama Bin Laden shirt.

Take the number *????????.
Xor it with "elite elite".
Break the number into bytes, convert the bytes in to decimal, add periods between them.
Use **ping -a < WHAT EVER THE RESULT WAS> to find the name of the server.
Use telnet < WHATEVER THE SERVER WAS> < THE PORT TO CONNECT TO> to get into tiberia.
Which port? It's a secret, only the truly ***elite can guess it.

And it's just that simple!

*Value subject to change in the future.
**You can skip this step if you're smart.
***Hint, hint!

Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other

If you are serious about wasting a large chunk of your life with TA, then you must prove yourself by wasting a small chunk of your life with this program. . .

You didn't make it slow enough. It only took ~10 minutes on my computer.

Are you serious? It's been running on mine for almost an hour... Of course, I did make a modification to output the current value of x...

Anyway, I'm in TA right now, so I guess I can turn it off...

HINT: google for "Tiberian Adventure"; it uses the default telnet port

I could have, but it takes just as long to encode it as it does to decode it, and I''m impatient.

Interesting, as smart_idiot only posted it about 18 minutes before you replied.

Make it output the value of x every, say, 50000th iteration. The modulus operator is much faster than outputting anything.

Use TA's IP as the key for some encryption algorithm, then write some code to brute-force it.
