Fix conflicts with recent commits (I think/hope)
Some commits this week caused some conflicts with some open pull requests made last week. I believe and hope that I fixed the conflicts.

1992 marked the "The Ninth International Obfuscated C Code Contest"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Look at the README.md file for the given winner for information
|
||||
on how to compile the winner and how to run the winning program.
|
||||
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
|
||||
You may then wish to look at the Author's comments for even more details.
|
||||
|
||||
Use make to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-unix
|
||||
systems the makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Read over the makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
|
||||
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
|
||||
#define). A number of compilers had problems optimizing certain
|
||||
entries. Some compilers do optimize, but the resulting program
|
||||
does not work. By default we have left off -O from compile lines.
|
||||
You might want to add -O back, or add it back for certain entries
|
||||
where performance is important.
|
||||
|
||||
This year marked an all time high for number of entries as well as the
|
||||
quality of entries. Nearly twice the usual number of entries made it
|
||||
to the final judging rounds. Even when we raised the standards for
|
||||
winning, we still wound giving out a few more awards than in other
|
||||
years. The new size rules size probably contributed to the overall
|
||||
high quality.
|
||||
|
||||
FYI: By tradition, we do not record the count the number entries,
|
||||
nor do we give our our guess as to the number of entries
|
||||
received. For folks who wonder, we can say that we consumed
|
||||
about 2000 pages of output (printing between 2 and 4 normal
|
||||
pages per side) during the judging process this year.
|
||||
|
||||
The new instructions for submitting entries worked well - we were
|
||||
able to write scripts to unpack them and eliminate duplicates.
|
||||
|
||||
As promised last year, we accepted programs that made use of the X
|
||||
libraries for the first time. We now consider ANSI C compilers to be
|
||||
the "standard" version that the entries were compiled with.
|
||||
|
||||
Name and address information are separated from the actual program
|
||||
prior to judging. This eliminates any chance that we would bias our
|
||||
judging for/against any person or group. In the end, we are surprised
|
||||
as you are to see who as won. Even so, it is worth noting that
|
||||
Brian Westley has submitted a winning entry for the past 6 years!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A few notes regarding future contests:
|
||||
|
||||
We did not give awards to some traditional contest categories such as
|
||||
"Best Layout". We felt that to do so would deny awards to more
|
||||
deserving entries. These categories have not been eliminated. We will
|
||||
likely be awarding them in future years.
|
||||
|
||||
We received a few entries whose instructions were rot13'd. While
|
||||
nothing was said about this in the rules, we found that it made the
|
||||
judging process a little harder, so we may request that this not
|
||||
be done this in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
Some thought has been given to a separate obfuscated perl contest.
|
||||
Watch comp.lang.perl for details!
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to wait until the 1993 rules are posted before submitting entries.
|
||||
We may fine tune the rules to reflect the some ideas above.
|
||||
|
||||
Please send us comments and suggestions what we have expressed above.
|
||||
Also include anything else that you would like to see in future contests.

If you use, distribute or publish these entries in some way, please drop
|
||||
us a line. We enjoy seeing who, where and how the contest is used.
|

If you have problems with any of the entries, AND YOU HAVE A FIX, please

email the fix (patch file or the entire changed file) to the above address.

We would like to thank Barbara Frezza for her role as official chef of
|

the contest. Landon Noll and Larry Bassel appreciated the opportunity
|

to serve as official taste testers. Yummo!
