The Live Language Demonstration is online and uses a sandboxed "safe" Eagle interpreter.

2018-06-21: Faster Tcl/Eagle script evaluation on the web site by avoiding page reloads (i.e. by using the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object).

The contest is to see who can be the first person (or team) to do any of the following:

  1. Escape from the "safe" sandbox (Difficulty: Jackpot).
  2. Run forever, bypassing the 5 second limit (Difficulty: Hard).
  3. Crash the web server process by using Eagle (Difficulty: Medium).
  4. Cause a "hard" stack overflow (Difficulty: Medium).
  5. Consume all available memory (Difficulty: Medium).

To clarify the "official contest rules":

  1. Since the interpreter may be shared, simply removing one or more commands (making those commands subsequently unavailable to others) does not count.
  2. For goal #1, presenting the contents of the file "C:\secret.txt" will be considered proof.
  3. For goals #1 and #3, causing the web server process to automatically recycle due to excessive memory usage does not count.
  4. Proof must include a screenshot and complete details, which will be corroborated using the server logs.
  5. The prize is a Red Swingline Stapler.
