I've not gone through the file entirely but I have some significant
fixes to make and I want to get my working repo clean so I can do these
fixes. I'll go through this file in full later.
Instead of relying on curl to obtain the text files just add them to the
repo.
Typo fixes.
Formatting fixes.
Added what on Middle-earth lámatyávë is to the README.md so that people
may enjoy the award title a bit better. From Morgoth's Ring, volume X of
the wonderful set History of Middle-earth (HoMe), one of many things
that were edited and published by the late Christopher Tolkien, heir and
literary executor of the great Tolkien.
I did not fix the strange output when more than one arg is specified nor
do I think I should.
I did not update Dave's comment that it will segfault on zero args nor
do I think I should (instead I updated the To run section like I've done
with the many others I've fixed).
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.
For Makefiles that have alt related rules, moved
the related rules under the alt rule section.
In some cases where there is no alt code,
removed alt rules and/or targets.
Simply the Makefile header.
Refer to the //www.ioccc.org/bugs.md URL (that will eventually exist).
Now using CC BY-SA 4.0 License to how you may share and adapt the
Makefile.
As the years.html file will be generated with a tool (yet to be written)
having the bug notice will (greatly)? complicate the generation. Thus
the bug notice (which I discovered when working on 2020/ferguson2) was
moved to 2014/vik/README.md.
But why? Because it is a good idea, I think, to note that although
mostly correct, there is a minor problem with it. I don't have a fix for
it but whether I ever look at that I do not know.
I also made a minor change in 2020/ferguson2/README.md: changed a full
stop to an exclamation mark as it seemed better.
Surprise, surprise there are more updates on my entries! :-) But to be
fair to me there were some important fixes and I had not really gone
through the README files of these entries (I still didn't go through all
of them thoroughly and probably won't since I'm far too concise :-)
:-)). In fact some of these problems broke some of the features of some
of the entries.
In 2020/ferguson1: termcaps must be compiled by make all. It also needed
a make test rule that runs ./termcaps. As well it needed a play and
snake-colours rule which copies and chmod +x the respective .sh files.
There were some typo fixes here and there as well as (I hope) a bit
clearer wording.
Some out of date things were changed.
There were some things I wanted to reiterate and stress even more that
are important notes about the cake.
Of course the ferguson2 files are still encrypted with a specific key
for the Enigma machine (one of the keys I provided in recode.md /
recode.html but which is a challenge though probably pointless since
it's also in ferguson1 unencrypted).
Updated 2020/ferguson2/.gitignore: added data files specific to the
encryption of the cake files so I can more easily fix it should I need
to update the files under 2020/ferguson2 (unlikely as that might be).
