# An Historical Makefile NOTE:

|

# The orig.Makefile, if it exits, is the original Makefile before this IOCCC
|

# year directory was reworked so that entries are in separate directories.
|

# This also applies to any orig.ansi.mk and orig.common.mk files.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Several Makefiles were modified / formed in 2022, and as such it may have
|
||||
# elements that are not historically compatible with way entries were built.

# Regarding individual entries:

The really amazing part of this is tha it's a text adventure, and there's
|
||||
not a single word in the source that isn't a C keyword or function name,
|
||||
being used as such.

The interface isn't very tolerant of errors, but you can't really
|
||||
expect that from something this small.
|
||||
The really amazing part of this is tha it's a text adventure, and there's
|
||||
not a single word in the source that isn't a C keyword or function name,
|
||||
being used as such.
|
||||
|
||||
Of particular interest: Go ahead, run it through the preprocessor. You
|
||||
*still* won't see the words that are used in the game.

This program is a rather nostalgic little labyrinth game. Start
|
||||
out by typing "get lamp", then use the direction words "left",
|
||||
"right", "forward", and "back" to explore the caves. Note that
|
||||
these words can refer to different passages depending on which way
|
||||
you're facing. "back" always takes you back the way you came.
|
||||
Type "quit" to quit.
|
||||
|
||||
The maze is randomly generated each time you play. The algorithm
|
||||
ensures that you start at least 6 hops away from the exit. All
|
||||
passages are two-way.

The goal is to collect 8 treasures (plus the lamp) and escape into
|
||||
the sunlight - or moonlight, as the case may be. After a few
|
||||
minutes, the lamp runs out of oil, and things become perilous.

If you manage to escape, you score 50 points for your hide, 50
|

points per item, and bonus points for speed.

Why I think this program is obfuscated:
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to collect 8 treasures (plus the lamp) and escape into
|
||||
the sunlight - or moonlight, as the case may be. After a few
|
||||
minutes, the lamp runs out of oil, and things become perilous.
|
||||
* 70% more # symbols than the average entry.
|
||||
|
||||
If you manage to escape, you score 50 points for your hide, 50
|
||||
points per item, and bonus points for speed.
|
||||
* Where are all the messages? The game is downright chatty for
|
||||
only having two string literals ("%d \n" and "Y\n : ! ,.?>").
|
||||
|
||||
Why I think this program is obfuscated:
|
||||
* There is exactly one loop in the program, a for loop, and it is
|
||||
clearly the product of a deranged mind. Running the
|
||||
preprocessor only makes it worse.
|
||||
|
||||
* 70% more # symbols than the average entry.
|
||||
* Microsoft Visual C++ won't even compile this program, even
|
||||
though it is plain ANSI C (*innocent look*) and limits itself to
|
||||
the most standard and portable of the standard library
|
||||
facilities.
|
||||
|
||||
* Where are all the messages? The game is downright chatty for
|
||||
only having two string literals ("%d \n" and "Y\n : ! ,.?>").
|
||||
* Most of the whitespace is significant, so attempts to
|
||||
beautify it can easily lead to segmentation faults.
|
||||
|
||||
* There is exactly one loop in the program, a for loop, and it is
|
||||
clearly the product of a deranged mind. Running the
|
||||
preprocessor only makes it worse.
|
||||
* Attempts to replace the one-character identifiers with longer,
|
||||
more meaningful names will likewise cause problems. In fact,
|
||||
simply changing all the Y's to Z's and vice versa results in
|
||||
some unexpected side effects.
|
||||

|

the most standard and portable of the standard library
|

facilities.
|
||||
When all warnings are enabled, some compilers express the desire
|
||||
to see a few more parentheses. I respectfully submit that there are
|
||||
plenty of parentheses in the program (370 in all.) Besides, any
|
||||
more would put me over the size limit. gcc also generates a
|
||||
warning about some calculations not being used. Having just spent
|
||||
19 hours staring at this program, sweating over every character, I
|
||||
swear gcc is wrong.

||||
|
||||
* Most of the whitespace is significant, so attempts to
|
||||
beautify it can easily lead to segmentation faults.
|
||||
The program is formatted as a poem, to make it more readable.
|
||||
I find the plaintive chorus "B? B?" particularly poignant.
|
||||
Also, smiley faces are formatted flush left. (If you don't find
