Instead of code blocks the bug / (mis)features statuses are quoted
rather than in a code block. In the case that there is more than one a
line break was added at the end of all but the last one.
A bug status was renamed to be slightly more correct (maybe more than
one was renamed for the same purpose but at least one was).
The bug statuses in the quotes are now bold to let them stand out
better.
In the line in README.md and index.html files that said:
### NOTICE to those who wish for a greater challenge
I added a ':' at the end of the line.
There were some entries that had a link fix in the index.html file but I
only looked up through 1995/leo as those still have to have a 'look and
feel' check and it would just slow things down.
We add the following level-3 header to help people identify text
they may wish to skip if they wish for a greater challenge:
```
```
After that notice we add:
```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program via the source.
If you get stuck, come back and read below for additional hints and information.
```
And sometimes follow with:
```
```
Or sometimes follow with:
```
```
Where the alt code impacts a "greater challenge", we add instead:
```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program without looking at the Alternate code.
If you get stuck, come back and look at the Alternate code.
```
And where a given command impacts a "greater challenge", we add instead:
```
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program without running the command below.
If you get stuck, come back and run the following command:
```
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
In most cases the word was changed to 'obfuscation' as it was about
obfuscation, not deobfuscation. In some cases like 1995/leo since the
file was (in 1995/leo) about a secret switch it was changed to
'secret.md' (and 'secret.html') but there were others like that as well.
One entry had the words 'spoiling the size rule' but this had been
changed to 'deobfuscating the size rule' which was obviously wrong.
In the latter YYYY/README.md files the judges had written after some
entries (brief summaries) '...
...We'll stop spouting spoilers now. Have fun exploring all the
entries!
but that was changed to:
...We'll stop spouting deobfuscation information now. Have fun
exploring all the entries!
which wasn't really about deobfuscation but just a brief summary of what
the entries did.
And in the most problematic case (at least for me :-), 2018/ferguson) I
had put a joke in:
... but it's the only Easter egg I won't spoil
but it was changed to 'won't deobfuscate' which not only is not what it
is but it spoilt the joke.
In some cases the word was changed back to 'SPOILER' (or similar) but in
most cases not. I believe it should be better now. There are some
caveats, however, as below.
Although make find_missing_links is okay I do not remember if this will
catch links that refer to '%%REPO_URL%%' or other pandoc tokens. This
means I might have to go back to some earlier years to verify links are
okay. That should not take that much time I hope.
It might also be that some wording can still be improved some but it is
hoped this will be discovered when checking links and looking over the
manifest (which obviously changed).
That is to say in the bugs file it will look something like:
STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix
but as a html file it is already bold as a heading. This means there is
no need in the index.html file to have the explicit **DO NOT** as it's
in a code block and it is not consistent in what is in bugs.html. For
instance 1984/mullender had:
STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
but this meant the index.html file had the '**'s surrounding the DO NOT
which is not consistent with bugs.html.
While not strictly necessary, replacing the two ASCII tab characters
in the markdown copyright comment makes it easier to detect problematic
TAB indentation within markdown files.
After this commit, only 90 markdown files have leading ASCII TAB
characters. And again, while not strictly necessary, we can consider
running expand on those 90 markdown files to see what effect that
might have on the HTML files they produce.
Replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE
characters (the default action of the `expand(1)` tool) might have
an negative effect on some HTML formatting where **hack-a-round**
formatting was attempted to fix broken indentation caused by
problematic ASCII TAB characters.
Think of this as a baseline for evaluating leading
TAB characters within markdown files.
TODO: Consider either using `expand(1)` to replace leading ASCII
TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters AND/OR
modifying the appropriate `bin` tool to convert leading ASCII TAB
characters into multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters.
Although there were a few lines that I kind of looked over quickly, not
evaluating the files in question, those seemed in good state anyway.
Often that was binary files.
In some cases for example input more information was given but not in
all as it was not always clear what it should be and it was not always
clear that it was necessary. Some typos were fixed as well.
Rebuilt .entry.json and index.html files.
A few other files were also modified with some minor fixes like
2006/toledo2/README.md for one example. In that case I believe some
binary files were referenced as %%REPO_URL%% but that is incorrect.
These files were edited before the index.html files were rebuilt so they
should be fine.
It should be noted that although I have gone through the entire manifest
and it might be that issue #1933 can be closed there is still a chance
that when I go through the web pages that I might come across a problem
that I will fix at that time. This might or might not be needed but that
will be determined later.
Now might be a good time to run make www but I will worry about that
later (it might or might not even do anything, depending on what was
missed).
In other words rather than have the link name in the form of:
1984 decot bugs
it is now:
1984/decot in bugs.html
so that it matches how the entry itself looks (as in how it's
identified) and to say where (what file) it is (in). The reason it says
'in bugs.html' rather than 'bugs' (saying that the entry has bugs) is
because not all are bugs and it's saying where to see it anyway. But
some are features, others are missing links or files or other things
like that and to keep the same form it now says 'in bugs.html'.
This was done with my sgit(1) tool like:
sgit -e 's,\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\) \([-a-z\.0-9]*\) bugs,\1/\2 in bugs.html,g' '*/*md'
The link to bugs.html itself has the path '../../bugs.html'. This is
important as it's meant to be rendered in the browser. At first this was
not remembered and I did something like:
sgit -e 's,\[\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\) \([-a-z\.0-9]*\) bugs\](../../bugs.html,\[\1/\2 in bugs.html\](%%REPO_URL%%/bugs.html,g' '*/*md'
but this was changed to the simpler one due to the problem described
above. It's worth putting this note here as a reminder, though, so I
have included it here.
We fix more markdown links in markdown files that refer to files
internally to the web site.
Added tmp tools to find and print various markdown links:
* `tmp/md-links.sh` - print all markdown links
* `tmp/md-token-links.sh` - print all markdown links that start with a **%%TOKEN%%**
* `tmp/md-local-links.sh` - print all markdown links to a local file
* `tmp/md-link-paths.sh` - print local file paths referenced in markdown links
Fixed a number of markdown formatting problems with `thanks-for-help.md`.
Fixed markdown links to files in `thanks-for-help.md`. Improved
heading levels in `thanks-for-help.md`, and made entry sections consistent.
Changed all markdown links that end in "))" to end in a better way.
Explained in `markdown.md` why we are avoiding markdown links that
end in "))".
Ran `make www` to perform the above.
TODO: Fix stuff we broke by mistake doing the above.
TODO: Fix more broken markdown links.
In cases that are **outside of a markdown code block**,
a markdown line with ending in a tailing "\" can generate
problematic HTML.
We certain trailing backslashes outside of a markdown code block
with "<br>" HTML elements, or in some cases eliminated the
need for a trailing backslash.
In a few cases some unnecessary trailing backslashes inside
of a markdown code block were removed.
The following markdown files were changed in this commit:
```
1990/dds/README.md
1990/jaw/README.md
1991/ant/README.md
1991/rince/README.md
1991/westley/README.md
1992/vern/README.md
1992/westley/README.md
1998/schweikh1/README.md
2004/anonymous/README.md
2005/sykes/README.md
2006/toledo2/README.md
2011/toledo/README.md
2012/endoh2/README.md
2012/tromp/README.md
2013/robison/README.md
2015/hou/README.md

2018/burton2/README.md
2018/ferguson/README.md
2018/vokes/README.md
2020/ferguson1/README.md
```
Performed `make www` to test these changes.
We added a space between the markdown triple code mark
and language that was enclosed in HTML comments.
So a line of the form:
````
```<!---c--->
````
became:
````
``` <!---c--->
````
This was done to **help** some code see that the HTML comment
string was not a markdown code specifier. Not all code
understands this after this changed. For example, `pandoc(1)`
still forms HTML classes of the form "<!---c-->"
when it encounters the above mentioned change.
We also fixed a problem with `2019/dogon/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.
We also fixed a problem with `2020/yang/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.
When language is specified in a markdown code block such as:
````
```c
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
is used, the resulting HTML as produced by `pandoc(1)` combined
with our revised `ioccc.css` is not intent the code block well.
A temporary "_hack-a-round_" is to turn the "markdown code language
specifier" into an HTML comment. For example:
````
```<!---c-->
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
This commits turns off existing markdown code language specifiers
for now, while preserving our ability to restore them in the future
when a better "_hack-a-round_" to the "markdown code language
specifier" problem is found.
The HTML impact if this "_hack-a-round_" is to produce HTML that
looks like this:
```
<pre class="<!---c-->"><code> .. </code></pre>
```
We might be able to create a complex set of classes for each markdown
code language (there won't be very many) in `ioccc.css`, or we might
find a more general CSS (or maybe `pandoc(1)`?) solution.
For now, this hack-a-round will have to do.
All code blocks in markdown have been intended by at least 4 spaces.
We add `--tab-stop=8` to all `pandoc(1)` executions in order to set
a better tab stop indentation, especially for tab intended code blocks.
Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.5.3 2024-03-26"
to "1.6 2024-03-31".
Fixed `1991/brnstnd/sorta.README.md` so that the sorta code
is code blocks.
Removed unneeded paragraph group in copyright in `inc/footer.default.html`.
Fixed excess whitespace after list Author on entry `index.html` page.
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.5.2 2024-03-26"
to "1.6 2024-03-31".
Performed `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
TODO: Fix the problem of the initial line of code being extra intended.
TODO: Fix excess whitespace around code that is inline.
The inc/footer.default.html now has a common Copyright and CC BY-SA
4.0 License section for all generated HTML files.
All markdown files have a similar Copyright and CC
at the bottom in the form of an HTML comment.
Entry source is now prog.c for IOCCC years 2014 thru 2020,
or is now dirname.c IOCCC years 1984 thru 2013.
To achieve this state, we renamed the following:
renamed: 2004/hibachi/src/hibachi.c -> 2004/hibachi/hibachi.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt2.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt2.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.orig.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.orig.c
Modified `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` to add to entry `index.html` file,
links to the `Makefile` and the _C code_ to the top navigation bar.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.2.2 2024-02-25"
to "1.3 2024-03-02".
Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar
from `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar
from `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.year-index.sh`.
Changed `bin/subst.year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`.
Changed `tmp/gen_author_json.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2023-06-06"
to "1.1 2024-03-04".
Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`.
Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-03-09"
to "1.3 2024-03-04".
The manifest and the resulting `.entry.json` files have been changed
for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane`.
The Makefiles for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane` copy the
source file into the "previously used location". The `make clobber`
rule removes the copied source. The `.gitignore` files have been
updated accordingly.
Improved how the concept of IOCCC terms _entry_, _author_ and _submission_ are
used in markdown files.
Links to markdown files (files ending in .md) within the repo were
changed to link to HTML files (files ending in .html). Special cases
where `README.md` became `index.html` were modified accordingly.
Fixed URL for `bugs.html` in Makefile comments.
Fixed name of `bin/sgi.sh` referenced in comments in `.gitignore` files.
Links to locations within the repo are now relative. For example a
link to `/contact.html` may become `../contact.html' or '../../contact.html`
depending on the directory level of the markdown file.
Nearly all links with absolute URLs under _https://www.ioccc.org_
or `https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc_ have been changed to
relative paths within the repo. Some exceptions to this (such as
referring to a GitHub repo) were preserved.
Fixed a number of inside `faq.md` and `bugs.md`.
Added HTML name tags (in the form of an _entry_id_) for each entry
referenced in `bugs.md`. Fixed links from outside of `bugs.html`
into `bugs.html` accordingly.
Where FAQ entries are referenced, a named tag is used so that if a
FAQ is ever renumbered, links outside of `faq.html` will still work.
Changed the _inventory_order_ of a compressed tarball from _300_
to _100000_. While this may have been done for the manifest,
this changed had not yet been propagated into the `.entry.json` files.
Links to web sites that were in the for <URL> are now [URL](URL).
Performed `name www` to process all of the above.
Improved format of `authors.html`. Full names are now bold.
Location codes are now links back into `location.html` and
location names (both default and common) are now italics.
Added _author_handle_ each author.
Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-25"
to "1.2 2024-03-09".
Improved format of `location.html` as location codes are now bold,
author counts in a given location are now bold, and location names
(both default and common) are now italics.
Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.1 2024-03-04".
Added italic location name after location code in entry
`index.html` files.
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.4.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.5 2024-03-04".
Added _Location of authors_ to the sidebar as a link to `location.html`.
TODO: While nearly all of the above mentioned changes are likely correct,
they likely introduced a few errors that need correcting.
As explained by the author (and I see now it's in the README.md file)
IMPORT.COM does not have to be a separate file in the directory; rather
it's embedded in C.BIOS. This commit synchronises the bug status in the
README.md file to the bugs.md file.
There actually is a file missing. It is not in the archive: IMPORT.COM.
Thus it has been added back to bugs.md until such a time as we can find
it or be provided it.
The .COM files should not be links. This has been discussed and it was
agreed to not link to them as they'll just be downloaded and they
already are in the repo.
Removed the zip file as the files have already been extracted. This is
how it was done with other entries too and this is what was desired as
well.
As requested on GitHub: a tool that will be written, readme2index, will,
as explained:
'... will take the converted HTML from the README.md markdown and
inject it into an HTML template. Things such title, award one and
author information will be injected into the HTML page ahead of the
HTML that was converted from the README.md markdown. Without going
into details of HOW at this time, the result will be a coherent HTML
index.html page with the winner title / award, winning author
information, and important file links come from other sources and
NOT from the README.md file.
The text from the 1st award line, thru the authorship information,
and up to but not including the "## To build:" line in the README.md
file will just get in the way. Moreover authors might be tempted to
try and maintain that top of README.md text instead of working with
the author/_author_handle_.json and winner .winner.json files.
This was done with my[0] sgit(1) (https://github.com/xexyl/sgit) tool like:
sgit -o -n -e '/^## To build:/,$p' '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md'
[0] Is that shameless self-promotion? I don't know but I don't care: it
is generally a very useful tool and has been used in other repos too.
Besides, I've done it many times before and it's a great example that I
will be adding to the README.md file of the tool, one I hadn't thought
of doing.
The alt code is based on the author's remarks that should allow users
with non-standard systems like DOS/Windows which have conio.h to use
this program, replacing read(2) and write(2) syscalls. It need hardly be
mentioned that I have no way of testing this so it's possible I did
something wrong but it seems not the case (whether anything has changed
since 2006 that might also break it is unknown).
The bug status has been updated both that one bug is not actually a bug
but appeared to be a typo and there also appears to be a missing file
(IMPORT.COM).
The entries referenced in `bugs.md` now have, below the
"To build:" section, a "Bugs and (Mis)features section text"
that matches the `bugs.md` status.
Several entries had their "STATUS" changed from:
"STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix" to:
"STATUS: known bug - please help us fix":
This was done because, while some of the bugs were minor,
inviting someone to try and fix the issue does nil harm.
In a few cases a more difficult bug was also changed to
the "please help us fix".
While we do NOT want to waste time fixing such entries NOW,
letting others become involved and to try to fix the entry
is a good thing as to encourages people to study the entry
and try to fix the entry. We don't need to accept a fix
that is offered, and of the fix transforms the source in
a less than desirable way, such a fix (if accepted) could
be become a alt source code.
As in:
sgit -e 's/# To run/# To use/g' '*README.md'
This makes consistent the message for how to use the program. 'How to
use' was chosen because one can run a program just by doing './foo' but
that doesn't imply that's how to use it but the purpose of the section
is how to use it.
The use of the markdown trailing whitespace to indicate
line break should NOT be done when the following line is empty.
This removes such improper use of whitespace in README.md files.
On another look I believe it to be a typo of the author that the prompt
should be 'A>'. I believe it should be what it is which is '>'. Still
there appears there might be a problem but because I am not sure of this
I changed it to possible bug. The problem or possible problem is that
the use of DDT.COM seems to not work but this might be not enough
information from the author or it might be a misunderstanding or
something else entirely.
I also downloaded the files that were referred to in the author's
remarks and added them to the repo. The ones from the SOURCE/ directory
are in the entry directory too as those might be required (though the
use might also be the possible or actual bug described above). This was
done to make it easier to use but also as part of one of the issues on
GitHub.
The fix thank you's have been moved from `README.md` to
`thanks-for-fixes.md`.
**WARNING**: Some mistakes may have been made in doing this.
We presume later changes by others will correct any issues.
The `CONTRIBUTING.md` was renamed `how-to-enter.md`.
A 3rd line of links was added to top level html such as
`contact.html`, `index.html`, `judges.html`, `winners.html`,
and `years.html`.
Improved blank line use in a number (but not all) `README.md` files.
It turns out I had the right idea all along - some variables need to be
FILE *; the others can remain int. Since they're used as files I think
it seems better to have them be FILE * rather than longs even if that
technically works.
He has a different website (which was already in winners.html and
winners.csv but was not in the README.md files) so I've updated them
all. I also removed the email as there is no guarantee that it's even
valid any more; the last time he won (he noted he did not participate
again as he won five times and wanted to give other their chances) was
2011 and his website does not include an email.
I've coined a new abbreviation: IABINAF - it's a bug it's not a feature! :-)
Specifically the use of the CP/M emulator does not appear to work right.
Updated bugs.md.
As for the proper fix: it appears that not all the variables that I
changed to a FILE * can be a FILE * or else the wrong combination was
used. It turns out that using longs (like Yusuke Endoh did) will work
but in some cases FILE * is still used as technically the variables are
used as FILE *. I will very possibly look at finding the right
combination (or confirming that this is correct as is - though it seems
not to be at least not technically) another time.
Format fix README.md.
The problem is that 'int's were being used instead of 'FILE *'s. It did
not seem to crash in linux (at least fedora) but it did in macOS which
prevented it from working. Now it works in both. I got the feeling that
it did crash in some linux distros as well as apparently Yusuke Endoh
fixed it as well though he did it by changing the ints to longs. I'm not
sure if that would work for macOS; I fixed it prior to seeing this fix.
Some -includes were added to the Makefile too that might or might not be
relevant to the fix in macOS. It very well could be relevant though.
I did a partial format fix in README.md but I will have to finish this
tomorrow as I have to leave for the rest of the day.
There were many many README.md files with the wrong heading level for
different sections. These have been changed.
To help go through the changes it should be noted I used sgit and also
here is what is changed:
The 'Try', 'To build' and 'To run' lines have two '#'s. Some had one and
others had three.
An exception is that in 1984/anonymous/README.md for the alternative
code that had three '#'s. This is not consistent yet and it might be
that only two are desired. But for now that one at least has three.
