Updated Makefile so one can easily change the 'Z' macro by doing:
make clobber MEMORY=... all
This is not usually useful but there are occasions where it is. As the
README.md points out this value must be a power of two!
The try.sh script runs the program on a number of the mc files, first
showing the input keys as a reminder (it also reminds one to keep in
mind the focus of windows).
The bugs.md is updated to note that it uses gets(3).
Format/typo check README.md file.
I changed the number of years ago that microorganisms appeared on Earth
as the number was off: there are those wondrous hydrothermal vents that
spewed mineral rich waters. Fun fact on the history of the Earth: did
you know that as of 2013 the number of years since the dinosaurs were
wiped out is not 65m years but actually 66m? That means that if you were
born before 2013 and you didn't die right before the revision that
you're in a rare group of people who have had a major historical update
as far as the dinosaurs go. But don't let it get to your head too much!
It also means you're ancient, possibly even a dinosaur, and you're
headed their way. :-) That's the price we must pay for being in that
group.
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?).
