Get 1989 entries to compile
There were some which cannot be compiled under clang. One entry we used a patch from Yusuke Endoh to get the entry to compile; thank you Yusuke for your assistance! Another one we used a patch from Yusuke (thank you!) but I further fixed it so that it would work with clang. It had to be done: IOCCC Tetris has to work! This was done by changing the environment arg to main() to be a char * in main() itself rather than a char **. Using a char ** in main() third arg got it to compile but only one key worked with clang so I changed it to be not the third argument but a regular char * in main(). **a (third arg) evaluated correctly but *a[1] and onward was actually part of the environment. Again IOCCC Tetris has to work! I also fixed fubar to work which took a few tweaks. README.md files were also updated.

## To build:
|
||||
|
||||
Run this program using your favorite text file as input. Files
|
||||
such as mailboxes, man pages and usenet articles are especially
|
||||
recommended. You will get different output each time you run it.
|
||||
make all
|
||||
|
||||
Run the program this way:
|
||||
To get this to compile with a modern CPP, we had to replace `#D` with `#define`.
|
||||
|
||||
ovdluhe < textfile

|

The program stops when it reaches the end of the template buffer
|
||||
by chance or is killed.

ovdluhe < textfile
|
||||
|
||||
This program implements an "Eddington ape" - it generates
|
||||
random text from a supplied template. The template text file
|
||||
is read through stdin. The larger the template, the better the
|
||||
result. A maximum of 2**12 chars are used. From the template,
|
||||
the program calculates the statistics of chars that immediately
|
||||
follow a given string (correlator string) of a certain length
|
||||
(currently 4 - can be varied by changing the definition for P
|
||||
accordingly). A character is randomly chosen, weighted by its
|
||||
probability to occur after the correlator string. That
|
||||
character is printed to stdout and placed at the end of the
|
||||
correlator string, whose first character is discarded.
|
||||
Meaningful words are therefore usually preserved, the effect on
|
||||
sentences can be dramatically random.
|
||||
The program stops when it reaches the end of the template buffer

|
||||
|
||||
You might want to vary the definition of P between 2 and 10 and
|
||||
observe the result.
