Cody Boone Ferguson 328cd5924c Fix next/try.alt.sh, update try script versions
The try.alt.sh used 'make all' and it also called './prog' and not
'./prog.alt'.

The version for both try.sh and try.alt.sh were updated. Presumably
before the contest is opened this will change again (or not due to this)
but since I edited the try.alt.sh and updated the version it seems
fitting to update the try.sh version too.

Landon Curt Noll bccdcc5fd9 update next and template try scripts
With commit fd483c2bed, all
try scripts now use:

```
MAKE=$(command -v gmake)
${MAKE:=make} CC="$CC" all >/dev/null || exit 1
```

to find `gmake(1)` and if not `make(1)` to make.

This commit updates the next and template try scripts accordingly.

Cody Boone Ferguson f0ca8d4319 Typo fixes in next/try*.sh 2025-03-04 12:33:41 -08:00
Cody Boone Ferguson 49609b0ead Final edits before IOCCC28 (I hope :-) )
Renamed some FAQs (typos and/or other things).

Fix a number of typos in various files (including markdown format
errors).

Rules and guidelines should be relatively good although as there is a
lot to get through and not much time left maybe I missed something (I
also kind of cheated doing the final checks with the guidelines rather
than going through them all again).

The next/try.sh and next/try.alt.sh scripts have had updates as well and
the next/Makefile.example was modified too.

The index.html page now has an anchor for goals of the contest so that
the goals in the rules could simply link to it in index.html.

Although some text had to be added (and some corrected) a reasonable
amount of text was also removed as it was elsewhere or was extraneous in
some way.

Cody Boone Ferguson 03694c587d Various somewhat interconnected fixes
At least one link in the FAQ was fixed (not to a file but a named
reference). The FAQ has not been checked entirely for broken links
because the changes have got a bit out of hand and an entire make www
will have to be performed due to a problem I discovered doing the below.
Other improvements were made.

When going through the FAQ for broken links another problem was
discovered, one that broke the scripts that rely on jstrdecode(1). These
have been fixed but need further testing with make www. Some index.html files
were modified; for why this can be done without make quick_readme2index
see below on what changed and why it could be done this way.

When going through the FAQ for broken links I discovered some
issues with some entries' synopsis. This means that a number of
index.html and .entry.json files have been updated. The reason the
index.html files could be modified without running the scripts which
would were broken due to the jstrdecode(1) issue (a missing option in
the scripts) is because I used sgit(1). However, a single README.md file
was modified and the index.html file was not modified just yet. That
will happen with make www. The change is not significant, however, so
this should be okay this time. As the next step is a long process I
therefore decided to commit these things to get them out of the way to
try and prevent the commit from being even larger.

Minor fixes in next/try.sh and next/try.alt.sh were also discovered when
going through the FAQ.

Minor typos were made in the FAQ.

The .gitignore file was also updated: with the last change I
accidentally made it so vim swap files without a filename are not
ignored. That means there have to be two vim swap file globs.
