My little mind got to working after someone on #kernelnewbies told me about the hangman program in the OpenBSD kernel debugger, and the rest is history...

I'll be impressed when you code it as a kernel-module, activating with left-alt scrolllock or something (that still appears to be free). :-p -- Frank v Waveren fvw@[var.cx|stack.nl|chello.nl|dse.nl] ICQ# 10074100 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I love it. :) My interest in #kernelnewbies has certainly been tweaked. So what method did you use to get your list of kernel symbols? (i.e. is it arch specific as System.map or do you have a way of pulling all archs?) Now, can you make a version to guess the values of various #defines? Or perhaps given the definition, guess the #define. ;) Twisted individual... and I mean that in the best possible way... ;) C-ya, Eli .

Play Kernel Hangman!
After a stranger than usual late-night #kernelnewbies session on Thursday, I was inspired to come up with Kernel Hangman.
