Swap 2006/sloane alt/main code in build/try
As the original entry is too fast for modern systems I have (after discussion with Landon) made the build and try sections refer to 'sloane.alt' instead of the original entry. The 'alternate section' now refers to 'sloane' instead. This is a rare case where the reversal of alt (in this case provided by me) and the original is valuable. There are other entries where I will end up doing this as well for the same reason of the entry going too fast in modern systems and these will be updated in time, now that a method to do it has been established.

### Alternate code:

The alternate version uses `usleep()` so one can enjoy

the entry with modern systems and which will not be too stimulating for those

who have a problem with fast moving text (like himself). It uses the `Z` macro
|

as the parameter to `usleep()` which you can override. The default is

`-DZ=65000`. To compile with the default:

Use `sloane.alt` as you would `sloane` above.

If you wish to make it like the original, as if the below 'alternate code' was

being used, you can do:

### How is it obfuscated?

There are three main pieces to this program: the donut, the checkerboard,

(with z-buffering even!), but the mathematics for drawing them is

something simpler), but I didn't discover this until well after submitting.

Cody fixed this entry to work with clang which is stricter on the type of args

to main(). Curiously although clang requires the types of args to be strictly

correct it allows for only one arg which he made it as the second arg was not

used and this allows for a closer match to the original format of the entry. He

also made sure that the Makefile links in `libm` as not all systems do this by
