I think the 176 was using a string compression of the codeTo set the record straight, this is wild speculation by someone with zero golf experience; at least I don't see SplinterFL mentioned on any game board. Notice that the 176 has subsequently been whittled to 165. Though I can't comment on 0xF's 165 and I'm sorry to disappoint SplinterFL, I'm happy to reveal that my 168 uses just a humble
sub and a lowly print statement inside a simple for loop ... and does not use any "compression schemes or code packing in to an eval" :-).
