Some of the files modified include some of the files modified yesterday;
others were not modified yesterday. I backtracked as I noticed some
sections are missing in earlier README.md files. However more have to be
checked in earlier years. I'm committing now as I have to do other
things and am likely done for the day.
Unfortunately this ruins the symmetry but I did make it so that the
problematic code is still shown just commented out. The problem was one
can no longer assign to a cast.
The original version was preserved in westley.alt.c, a worthy thing I
think to do as symmetry is magical and it should be shown how it once
worked without having to look at the archive.
There is supposed to be a comment from the judges in 1987/wall/README.md
about 1987/biggar's entry but it appears to be missing. Rather than
delete the comment in 1987/biggar we note that it was originally there
but has gone missing.
The years 1984, 1985 and 1986 have had all winning entry README.md files
updated. This includes formatting, adding author's comments (which in
these years means nothing but still have the section there to indicate
that there were no comments) and possibly other things.
I have updated some - not all - of the 1987 winning entry README.md
files. I have to do other things now but I want these committed. I will
work on the other README.md files another time.
This is a subtle thing that I brought up on GitHub. Landon made the
change in many files but missed some in 1986 through 1989. I am aware of
a mass typo in the Makefiles but since some Makefiles are pending
changes I'm not doing that yet.
Yes this is on the guidelines branch but I forgot about the html files
(briefly) when on that branch and I don't want to go back to the other
branch and then checkout another branch that does not have these
changes. Maybe they should have both been on the same branch but I want
to avoid problems with conflicts (even though these should be fine).
As some commits from yesterday and this morning caused conflicts with
commits I made last week I'm trying to fix it on the branch that I
believe introduced the changes. If this does not work I do not know what
I'll do but it have to be done another time.
Move copyright notice to the end.
Add a standard comment about the newly added `README.md` files.
Clean up trailing whitespace.
Fixed a few minor typos.
There are many more fixes to be made but I wanted these in. Even the
files I have checked will have to be checked again in more detail but I
needed these committed so I could fix something in another file that
will need a new branch. More updates to README.md files will then be put
into yet another branch if the pull requests have not yet been merged
before I get to these updates (which really ought to be a lot of
fun! :-) )
There were two instructions for building but the one (with the compiler
line) did not work any more and once fixed it appears to be the same as
what the Makefile does so I've removed that example.
As well I fixed the file to refer to 'biggar' and not 'markb'.
In particular the following fixes were made:
-MKFIFo= mkfifo
+MKFIFO= mkfifo
-ZIPGREp= zipgrep
-ZIPINFo= zipinfo
+ZIPGREP= zipgrep
+ZIPINFO= zipinfo
If it's not immediately clear what the problem is the last letter of the
variable names were in lower case.
Depending on if it was the beginning of the sentence the EMail would
become 'Email' or 'email'.
Some references of 'Email' were changed to 'email' as well as those were
not in the beginning of a sentence.
A few places some consistency of capitalised email address (made lower
case) were changed to match other places of the same pattern.
As per discussions on GitHub the index.html and hint.html files should
be deleted in favour of README.md files (from any
.text/.txt/.markdown/.md files which will be turned into README.md in an
upcoming commit).
The 2020 winners are hinted it, but the source code is not there,
nor are the hints. Someone could look into the HTML and
see what was commented out, but that is not a problem because
WHO won is known and the name of their AWARD is known already.
Moreover a number of the winners have talked about what their
entirs do, so the commented out spoiler text is not a bit problem.
One will find HTML commented out with:
<!-- XXX remove when 2020 is ready
2020 links here
XXX remove when 2020 is ready -->
The "XXX remove when 2020 is ready" string is found at the
start and end comment blocks. Again, soneone could read
what was commented out, but that is OK since most of that
information is known or can be known. The following files
have such HTML comment blocks in them.
./winners.html
./years-spoiler.html
./years.html
In addition, ./all/summary.txt was modified to not
include the 2020 entries for the momemt.
The 2020 winner code AND write-ups are NOT part of this set.
p.s. The all/all.tar.bz2 does not contain the 2020 source code (yet?).
