The challenge is as the name implies, You have 50 lines of Code to make something. There are some rules though:
Well I bet I can do it in 1 line xD
Can http be used ? >:)
function setup()
print("A word a day, keeps the spelling teacher away!")
texta = ""
end
function draw()
showKeyboard()
texta = keyboardBuffer()
text(texta,WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2)
end
function keyboard(k)
if k == RETURN then
openURL('http://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/' ..texta.. '.html')
end
end
Boom. Do I win?
What flaw? My code is flawless :')
What did I win ? 
jk peops, I’ll try to come up with a real idea soon
I was just going to have a single http.request and a loadstring 
Ok here you go, it needs a while to start up and doesn’t use the best methods because of the limited lines of code, tho I still got 7 lines left… I’ll try to finish the rest of the program with those lines, tho it won’t be easy
function setup()

for i = 1, #data.packs do
setContext(data.packselect)
if readImage(data.packs[i] .. ':Icon') then

@Prynok, yours doesn’t work because openURL needs a http:// in the address.
Here is mine (I used exactly 50 lines):

@JakAttack Oops! Fixed.
Thinking I did so much trouble getting my code under 50 lines to see so much space left in your program xd
I couldn’t think of a better idea :s
Here’s my 50 line entry. (Cheating a bit by sticking multiple statements on one line at times).
A game where you drag the balloons to keep them below the line. High score is how long you lasted.
function setup()
balloons = {}; interacting = {}; spawnInterval = 5; ended = false
displayMode(FULLSCREEN); state = "Keep the balloons below the line!"
end
function draw()
local mr = math.random
noStroke(); background(60, 60, 87, 255)
for k,b in pairs(balloons) do
b.pos = vec2(b.init + math.sin(b.pos.y * 0.035) * 30, b.pos.y + b.speed)
b.speed = b.speed + 0.003
if b.pos.y > (HEIGHT - 250) and not ended then
ended=true; state="You lasted: ".. math.floor(ElapsedTime) .." seconds"
end
math.randomseed(b.init)
fill(185+mr(80),50+mr(40),50+mr(40))
ellipse(b.pos.x, b.pos.y, 100)
end
for k,b in pairs(interacting) do
fill(255) ellipse(b.pos.x,b.pos.y,105) end
if spawnInterval * #balloons < ElapsedTime then
local xp = mr(WIDTH - 100) + 50
table.insert( balloons, { pos=vec2(xp, -50), init=xp, speed=1 } )
end
fill(255); fontSize(40); text(state,WIDTH/2,HEIGHT - 100)
strokeWidth(5); line(0,HEIGHT - 200,WIDTH, HEIGHT - 200)
end
function touched(touch)
if touch.state == BEGAN then
local closest = nil; local closestDist = math.huge
for k,b in pairs(balloons) do
if b.pos:distSqr(vec2(touch.x,touch.y)) < closestDist then
closestDist = b.pos:distSqr(vec2(touch.x,touch.y))
closest = { k, b }
end
end
if closest then
interacting[touch.id] = closest[2]
balloons[closest[1]] = nil
end
elseif touch.state == MOVING then
local b = interacting[touch.id]
b.pos.y = b.pos.y + touch.deltaY
b.pos.x = b.init + math.sin(b.pos.y * 0.035) * 30
elseif touch.state == ENDED or touch.state == CANCELLED then
table.insert(balloons, interacting[touch.id])
interacting[touch.id] = nil
end
end
```
@Simeon, that’s amazing with such few lines :o tho I quickly see you left 3 lines open 
but here’s a version that doesn’t include multiple statements on 1 line, sorry I just had to do it xD
still Simeon’s code tho, just changed the balloons to be heart-shaped
and some other things as defining multiple vars in 1 statement (not in multiple statements as simeon did) and I had to remove some ‘locals’
function setup()

b.speed = b.speed + 0.003
if b.pos.y > (HEIGHT - 250) and not ended then
ended = true
state="You lasted: ".. math.floor(ElapsedTime) .." seconds"
end
sprite("Planet Cute:Heart", b.pos.x, b.pos.y, 100, 150)
end

end

if b.pos:distSqr(vec2(touch.x,touch.y)) < closestDist then
closestDist = b.pos:distSqr(vec2(touch.x,touch.y))
closest = { k, b }
end
end
if closest then
interacting[touch.id] = closest[2]
balloons[closest[1]] = nil
end
elseif touch.state == MOVING then
local b = interacting[touch.id]
b.pos.y = b.pos.y + touch.deltaY
b.pos.x = b.init + math.sin(b.pos.y * 0.035) * 30
elseif touch.state == ENDED or touch.state == CANCELLED then
table.insert(balloons, interacting[touch.id])

Heey if we can do our for loops and if statements etc, in one full line, then I can make my code even smaller and maybe implement a full working sprite selector instead of just the sprite browser, but idk if that’s allowed @codeanoob …?
@John that’s amazing in just 50 lines :o
And then to know you got a fully working game + nice game over screen, also, I think you can reduce it by at least 4 lines
Here’s my submission. I’m taking “one line” as what will fit on one line in portrait orientation (smallest width) without wrapping to another line. To play this game, tap the number you want to move to the blank square. Object is to get the numbers in order, left to right, top to bottom, with the blank square in the lower right corner.

Nice idea. Wanted to do a line animation. Draw several lines on the screen and animate between the line segments. Wanted to mess around with buffers, but didn’t get it working, but anyway
