Trollformatter: Troll your fellow devs and compsci teachers

Ever wanted to troll someone by formatting your C/C++/Java code like this?

Well now you can.

What is this?

Trollformatter is a formatter inspired by the image above. It basically moves all your semicolons, braces, etc. to the edge of the file to make it appear to not have semicolons or braces. The generated code looks much cleaner (/s), and still runs the same as the original file.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT USE THIS IN ANY KIND OF PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. THE TROLLFORMATTER PROGRAM IS IN ALPHA AND IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES. THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU LOSE YOUR JOB OR GET A FAILING GRADE BECAUSE YOU USED THIS.

How do I run Trollformatter?

HEADS UP! Trollformatter is now available on PyPI! To install via PyPI (recommended):

1. Get Python.
2. Get the pip package manager.
3. Run pip3 install trollformatter.

To install via source (for development or latest version):

1. Get Python.
2. Run python3 setup.py install. (you may need sudo or --user).

To run:

1. Get your code.
2. Run trollformatter file.java (or .c or .cpp)
