|
||||
|
||||
* Indicate the name of your Company or School in the 'org' item.
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'email address' item asks for a network path from a major
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* If you give a 'postal address', please include your Country.
|
||||

||||

||||

||||
tab or space characters at the beginning of each additional line.
|
||||
|
||||
4) The entry should be written in a common C. (K&R + common extensions)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
in the public domain. All copyrighted programs will be rejected.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
Email your entries to:
|
||||
|
||||
...!amdahl!obfuscate
|
||||
|
||||
Amdahl talks to hplabs, decwrl, pyramid, seismo and cbosgd.
|
||||
We will attempt to email a confirmation of receipt of contest
|
||||
entries, however since email is not reliable you may not receive it.
|
||||
People are encouraged to submit entries via email, however
|
||||
one may mail entries the following postal address:
|
||||
|
||||
Landon Curt Noll
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
P.O. Box 3470

|
||||
bottom left corner of the envelope.
|
||||
|
||||
8) Contest entries sent in by post should indicate where TAB characters
|
||||
are to be placed, otherwise space characters will be assumed. Each
|
||||
line will be assumed to contain a newline character. The leading
|
||||
'X' will serve to indicate where each source line starts.
|
||||
|
||||
9) Each person may submit up to 5 entries. Multiple entries must
|
||||
be sent in separate emails or postal envelopes.
|
||||
|
||||
10) People are encouraged to examine winners of the previous
|
||||
contests. A copy of these entries was posted to mod.sources
|
||||
on or about 12-Mar-87. Contact the mod.sources moderator
|
||||
if you missed that article. Keep in mind that rules change from
|
||||
year to year, so some winning entries may not be valid
|
||||
entries this year. Also what was unique and novel one
|
||||
year can get 'old' the next year.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS:
|
||||
|
||||
* First announcement will be at the Summer 87 Usenix BOF.
|
||||
|
||||
* An announcement will be posted to mod.announce near
|
||||
mid June 1987 stating to which newsgroup the winners
|
||||
have been posted.
|
||||
|
||||
* An article containing the winning entries will be published
|
||||
in a future issue of the "Micro/Systems Journal".
|
||||
|
||||
* Winners receive international fame and flames! :-)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
JUDGING:
|
||||
Awards will be given to the best entry in a number of categories.
|
||||
The actual category list will vary depending on the types of entries
|
||||
we receive. At the moment, we are considering using the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* The best small one line program
|
||||
* The most obscure algorithm
|
||||
* The worst abuse of the C preprocessor (note warnings below)
|
||||
* The strangest source layout
|
||||
* The most useful obfuscated program
|
||||
* <anything else so strange that it deserves an award>
|
||||
|
||||
Extra points will be given for programs which:
|
||||
|
||||
* pass lint without complaint
|
||||
* do something quasi-interesting
|
||||
* are portable
|
||||
* are unique in their obfuscation style
|
||||
* are concise
|
||||
|
||||
Points will be taken away for programs that:
|
||||
|
||||
* are very hardware or Un*x version specific
|
||||
* dump core or have compiler warnings
|
||||
(we won't take points away if you warn us in the remark item)
|
||||
* fail to compile
|
||||
* obfuscate only by overuse of #defines
|
||||
(you should do this ONLY if your use is unusual)
|
||||
* are similar to previous winners
|
||||
* are similar to previous losers :-)
|
||||
|
||||
The Judging will be done by Landon Noll and Larry Bassel.
