This video unfortunately comes from YouTube and so even if the link
eventually dies we should not have it here. A link was provided.
Updated the .entry.json and manifest in the index.html plus checked
other formatting issues.
We add an initial "_title_" and "_abstract_" to all entry `.entry.json` files.
The `bin/csv2entry.sh` tool reads the `summary.csv` file and
loads the "_title_" and "_abstract_" to entry `.entry.json` files.
Changed `bin/csv2entry.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-09-23"
to "1.4 2024-09-27".
Perform `make csv2entry` to perform the above and test under macOS.
The `bin/cvt-submission.sh` tool adds "_title_" and "_abstract_" to the
.entry.json based on the `.info.json` file.
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-09-23"
to "1.3 2024-09-27".
The `bin/entry2csv.sh` tool forms the `summary.csv` file
based on the "_title_" and "_abstract_" fields found in .entry.json files.
Changed `bin/entry2csv.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-09-23"
to "1.4 2024-09-27".
Perform `make entry2csv` to perform the above and test under macOS.
Added `-H` and `header=with-header-3` to the `bin/md2html.cfg`
for the configuration entry for `[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md`.
Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-08-17"
to "1.7 2024-09-27".
All entry `index.html` files now list the "_abstract_" in a new
`<h3>abstract</h3>` header.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-09-23"
to "1.7 2024-09-27".
Removed `summary.csv`.
Added `summary.csv` and `summary.numbers` to `.gitignore`.
Sorted the result with `bin/sgi.sh`.
Perform `make quick_www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
We added ._.DS_Store to `.gitignore`, and generalized the `/archive/historic/`
year sub-directories into a single pattern line.
We fix `bin/sgi.sh` to properly sort, canonically, `.gitignore` files
including `._.DS_Store` lines. The tool now stories stdin content
into a temporary file, then prints 6 classes of files from the
temporary file to stdout.
Changed `bin/sgi.sh` VERSION from "1.1.3 2024-08-18"
to "1.2 2024-09-05".
Fixed a bug in `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` that prevented it from
finding the `bin/sgi.sh` tool.
Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` VERSION from "1.1.8 2024-07-28"
to "1.2 2024-09-05".
Performed `make sort_gitignore` to test the above under macOS.
NOTE: The above canonically sorted:
- 2004/hibachi/.gitignore
- 2005/mynx/.gitignore
- 2011/vik/.gitignore
- 2013/dlowe/.gitignore
- 2020/otterness/.gitignore
The PR #2662 introduced TAB characters into entry `.entry.json` files
and mal-formatted `author_handle` JSON members.
To restore canonical JSON formatting, we did:
```sh
find [12][90][89012][0-9] -name .entry.json -print | xargs -n 1 bin/jfmt-wrapper.sh -v 1
```
BTW: We have written a tool, currently untested, to do this. We plan to also
add a new fix JSON format rule to the top level `Makefile`.
Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
A number of rules have been moved from entry `Makefile`s into the
`1337.mk` include file to make it easier for these common rules to be
updated or modified globally (by modifying the `1337.mk` include file).
The entry level `Makefile`s are now similar in form to the
/Makefile.example](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/blob/master/Makefile.example)
file from the other repo.
The following make rules were moved into the `1337.mk` include file:
- `make indent.c`
- `make install`
- `make diff_orig_prog`
- `make diff_prog_orig`
- `make diff_alt_prog`
- `make diff_prog_alt`
This simplifies the entry level `Makefile`s so that they mostly reflect
the specifics of the particular entry.
Mentioned in FAQ 4.2, that the make diff rules are in the `1337.mk` include file.
Fixed invalid TAB character in `faq.md`.
Removed `make clean` directives that removed `indent.c`. This file is now
removed via `make indent_clean`, a clean rule that also removes `indent.c`.
Removed `make clobber` directives that removed sandwich, This file is now
removed via `make indent_clobber`, a clean rule that also removes `sandwich`.
Added `make indent_clean` and `make indent_clobber` rules into the top level
`Makefile` and the year level `YYYY/Makefile`.
Performed `make quick_www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
There is also a fix that fixes a format problem with
the `author_set`.
Used `bn/jfmt-wrapper.sh` to reformat JSON with:
```sh
find * -name '*.json' -print0 | xargs0 -n1 -t bin/jfmt-wrapper.sh
```
We improve entry `index.html` navbar links by allowing the
next and previous to link across years.
The `make genpath` now forms `.allyear`, which is a
sorted contamination of all YYY level `.year` files.
Updated `make help` to reflect the `make genpath` functionality.
Updated FAQ 6.8 to talk about the `.allyear` file.
Fixed links to `.top` and `.allyear' to refer to GitHub.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.2 2024-03-02"
to "1.3 2024-08-02".
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.3.5 2024-08-05"
to "1.4 2024-08-09".
Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
There are places where references to mirror sites should be kept in like
in the FAQ (currently FAQ 6.2 with the title 'May I mirror the IOCCC
website?' and with the named anchor 'mirrors', 'website_mirrors' and
'website_mirroring').
Amongst the changes here is that we do not need to have the hex or html
code (numbers) for open and close parentheses (in links) as there are
names. '(' is & followed by lpar; and the ')' is the same but 'rpar;'
instead. This makes it easier to remember and type and it generates the
same html as well (they are all valid). Now the markdown files are
consistent in this (in some cases hex was used and in others the html
code).
Although many markdown files were updated no html files needed to be
updated as it generates the same html. Even so I ran the appropriate
rules to do so just to verify this.
Updated 1337 hacker rulz to version 7.
Added `1337.mk` to contain the updated 1337 hacker rulz (v7).
We use an optional include of `1337.mk` (or `../1337.mk`,
or `../../1337.mk`) to include the 1337 hacker rulz.
Changed `make deep_magic` to `make more_magic`.
Changed `bin/tar-entry.sh` VERSION from "1.3.7 2024-07-22"
to "1.3.8 2024-07-23".
Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.2.5 2024-07-22"
to "1.2.6 2024-07-23".
Add `make new_entry` to `YYYY/Makefile` and `template/Makefile.year`.
Change `make new_year` to use `sort -n -u`.
Made minor debug message fixes to `bin/new-year.sh`.
Changed `bin/new-year.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-07-23"
to "1.3.1 2024-07-23".
Improved `bin/add-dir.sh` to update `YYYY/Makefile` with
the new entry directory name.
Changed `bin/add-dir.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-07-21"
to "1.1 2024-07-23".
Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
We move `tmp/format-headers.sh` into `bin/format-headers.sh`.
We also add a few missing empty lines to `README.md`.
We add `bin/format-headers.sh` to the `bin/README.md`.
We run `bin/format-headers.sh` to perform the above.
Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
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.
We quasi-canonicalized markdown links to FAQ entries.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: This is a useful step in completing issue #2417. This commit is consistent with the top level TODO comment requirements. Nevertheless, this changes made by this commit needs to be examined and in some cases improved.
A link to an FAQ entry is of the form:
```
FAQ on "[the link text](....faq.html#string)"
FAQ on "[the link text](....faq.html#string)"
```
The "FAQ" is at the start of the line, or in rare cases is preceded only by whitespace.
The reference to the FAQ starts outside of the markdown link with the string **FAQ ON "**.
After the markdown link is a **"** followed by either the end of line or a single punctuation character such as a period or comma.
We reduced the size of "the link text" that refer to an FAQ to at most 3 words. In some cases the sentence and/or text surrounding the markdown link to a FAQ may need to be further adjusted to better accommodate this new style.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: References to a FAQ entry are on a separate line.
p.s. When linking to the `faq.html` file itself, we use markdown of the form "`the [IOCCC FAQ](..../faq.html)`" and place the word "the" outside of the "IOCCC FAQ" link text.
Given the above system (and because references to an FAQ entry is on a separate line), the following command shows links to FAQ entries, sorted by FAQ entry "link #name" so that one may evaluate the way a given FAQ entry is referenced:
```sh
find * -name '*.md' -print0 | xargs0 grep -E '^[[:space:]]*FAQ on "' | sed -e 's/^\([^:]*\):\( *FAQ on "[^#]*\)#\([^)]*\)\()".*\)$/#\3\t\1\t\2#\3\4/' | sort
```
The above command shows the value of consistency when it comes to FAQ references.
**NOTE**: There are a few differences on how a given FAQ is references. That is probably OK as there is NOT an "total mandate" that all references to a given FAQ must have the same "link text" for example. On the other hand if references to a given FAQ can be identical, that might be helpful. We are certain that in some contexts the "link text" might need to change.
Should we decide to change the way FAQ are referenced, we will be able to modify identify and modify them with greater ease.'
Examine the changes made by this commit and adjust and/or improve as needed.
Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
The location of the link is in the About menu under the 'Contacting the
IOCCC' and above 'Thanks for the help'. At first I had it at the very
bottom, under 'IOCCC markdown guidelines', but it seemed better to have
it closer to contacting the IOCCC. This is the same location in the no
JavaScript menu (which, for those who do not know or forget, is not a
requirement except for some screen sizes).
The top level Makefile has a new 'security' rule. Updated make help.
Typo fixes in make help.
SECURITY.html has had a few updates as well: change the wording of entry
code is unsupported (it now says 'ALL CODE IN ALL IOCCC ENTRIES IS
UNSUPPORTED!!') and it now links to the mkiocccentry repo and how to
report a possible security vulnerability in that repo; as that IS
supported - and since there was reference to discussing security
concerns is in SECURITY.html - even though the entries will not receive
security updates - it seemed a good idea to have a link to report such
security issues in the mkiocccentry repo. Perhaps the FAQ needs to be
updated for this too.
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:
```

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).
There are many fixes made but a few questions remain so when I reach
those years I will address those then. Unfortunately, due to
infrastructure work right now, this is all I can say even though there
are a number of things I'd like to say.
Given how problematic leading tabs in markdown files can be,
we have expanded all leading tabs in markdown files by:
```sh
find * -type f -name '*.md' -print |
while read -r file; do
rm -f "$file.tmp" ;
expand < "$file" > "$file.tmp" ;
mv -f -v "$file.tmp" "$file" ;
done
```
Given the previous changes to `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` and other recent
commits and recent pull requests, the were were **NO** changes to
any HTML files. This is a **good thing** as the expression goes.
No there are no leading tabs in any markdown files.
A check to catch any re-introduction of leading tabs
into any markdown file is on the way.
BTW: We do not have anything against leading tabs in files,
even though we have had to deal with their impact on forming
HTML from markdown files (as well as the calc source code).
It is just that this is one of those cases where tabs conflict
(sometimes caused by people wanting to change the classic
8-space tab model) with a desired outcome.
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
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.
Make it consistent with my improvement to bin/gen-years.sh: the entry
awards in the links (to each entry) are now in bold and so are the link
names. This helps them stand out a bit more.
The script set the URL for the tarball of all entries in the year to:
$YYYY/$YYYY.tar.bz2 but the link is relative so for 1984, for example,
it would link to 1984/1984/1984.tar.bz2 which obviously is a 404.
I also changed the formatting and wording of the link. It now is all
bold and it says instead (for example with 1984): 'Download all winning
entries from 1984'. Before it still referred to 'entry source' but it is
all entries and more than just the source.
This commit does not mean that the YYYY/index.html files have been
checked (though it's likely that all should be okay at this point) but
the manifest of entries and the tarball of all entries of the year
should at least be good.
It should be 'Location of winning authors' (as it is now) but by mistake
there was an extra space ('Location of winning authors'). Obviously
this is a huge commit as every html file with a menu (almost all) had to
be updated.
A few page names were changed and menu link (titles) were changed too.
By page names it means either DESCRIPTION or HEADER_2 in
bin/md2html.cfg. Although it looks better and is more consistent, there
might be one or two that can be further improved.
Naturally every html file that is markdown based was updated.
This is a very large commit not only because I forgot to run make www
after updating the menus but I also forgot to do that after the update
to some of the award titles (only quick-readme2index.sh was used).
There is a typo fix in bin/README.md.
This commit does mean that md2html.cfg has to be added to bin/README.md
but that can be done later.
The steps run to verify this works okay:
make www
git status
git diff
git add -u
make update
git status
git restore $(git check)
The last is important as it is not time for make update. 'git check' is
an alias:
git diff --name-only
This is a fun one because the scripts that are used to update the
manifest did not report any problem because the problematic file (though
see below as I did rename another file too for very similar rationale,
also discussed below) actually exists on file system but when linked to
from a web server it does not exist. This is because the filename had
the html encodings for [ and ] (again see below) which the web server
interpreted as [ and ] but the file doesn't exist on the filesystem in
that form: instead it had the html encodings for those characters. This
file was
2011/dlowe/dlowe-aux-data/english-0/CIR_APE_08_doc%5B1%5D.txt
and it has been renamed to
2011/dlowe/dlowe-aux-data/english-0/CIR_APE_08_doc.txt
The other file h ad the literal [ and ] but as this is also not POSIX
safe the [ and ] plus what was in between it was removed. Thus the file
2011/dlowe/dlowe-aux-data/png-1/image_thumb[40].png
was renamed to just
2011/dlowe/dlowe-aux-data/png-1/image_thumb.png
Updated the manifest and regenerated the .entry.json and index.html
files.
As a side effect of the manifest and rebuild of the .entry.json and
index.html file two other entries were touched that somehow were not
done when I changed 'Best of show' to 'Best of Show' even though a git
diff will show the same thing (seemingly of course):
- "award" : "Best Of Show",
+ "award" : "Best of Show",
plus a diff in their index.html files.
Those entries are 1991/brnstnd and 2001/jason though I am not sure why
as I'm pretty sure other entries also had the same change made and they
did not show up here.
Nevertheless that problem should now be resolved and the links in
2011/dlowe manifest now work (at least those two have been checked for
validity: others will be checked when I verify format and links in that
entry which will not be done until after the top level html files and
the earlier years).
Since GitHub has a problem with showing really big commits it seemed
like my attempts at changing 'web site' to 'website' were incomplete but
they were not. Something I noticed the first time shortly before I
closed that commit (as it seemed to be a problem) that I ended up
changing the file:
2011/dlowe/dlowe-aux-data/english-1/Wireless_Days_2011_CFP.txt
as well. The problem is that this was a file used to train the neural
network of the entry so it should not have the change made.
This was done by:
sgit -e 's/alt code/alternate code/g' . ; git co tmp/OLD_manifest
as well as updating the tmp/manifest.numbers spreadsheet and exporting
to the CSV file (though that would not strictly be necessary).
The way this works means that the update manifest script does not need
to be run as it sgit(1) touched the .entry.json files (any that needed
to be updated) and so would any index.html files. An example for both
.entry.json and index.html files being modified due to manifest is
2012/kang.
Numerous Makefiles were updated, any try scripts that had 'alt code'
instead of 'alternate code' and README.md/index.html files (unrelated to
the manifest as 'alt code' was used in other places too) and obviously
the manifest.numbers spreadsheet.
However to be safe I will do a run of the manifest script in a bit even
though it should not be necessary. If no commits are made it means all
is good and if any commits are made for the manifest it means that I
did not think of something (or else I made another change after this).
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).
This is a large update that modifies every .entry.json file and fixes
many others. The changes of every .entry.json file are as follows:
- change 'entry source' to 'entry source code' [0]
- change 'original source' to 'original source code' [0]
- change 'directory path from top directory' to 'directory path from top
level directory'
[0] This is for consistency purposes. Other options were pondered but as
the index.html files refer to 'Alternate code' this was the simplest way
to go about it and it also feels more natural. A question was whether to
have 'entry code' and 'original entry code' or to have the word 'source'
added to it but I decided upon including the word 'source'. Another
question has occurred to me is whether or not 'original source code'
should instead be 'original entry source code' but that can be decided
upon later as that occurred to me after much of the files were already
rebuilt. The consistency that this commit has made is for the README.md
sections and in particular 'Alternate code'. One might wonder if that
should be changed to 'Alternate source code' as now the manifest
includes 'source' in the 'entry code' and 'original code' but the
manifest itself is what was actually updated and having 'source' feels
more natural for submitted files. After all not all entries have
alternate code. These questions can be decided on when looking at the
index.html files that have been rebuilt.
Changed 'alt code' to 'alternate code' where this was not already done
(in the manifest). It is questionable whether this should be done in
markdown files or not (in the README.md files section it already is done
but not necessarily in other places).
Many files had incorrect descriptions that have been checked.
Renamed 2020/endoh2/spoiler/spoiler.{md,html} to index.{md,html} so one
can go to just 2020/endoh2/spoiler and see the web page. Although the
manifest of 2 020/endoh2/index.html will link to it and that's probably
how most people will notice it it seems useful especially as the web
page links to the different files in spoiler/ or at least refers to
them, giving a description (kind of like the manifest in
2020/endoh2/index.html).
Due to the above changes all the entries had their index.html files
regenerated too.
There were likely other changes and fixes as well.
What has NOT been done is a check over all items, typos or otherwise,
though some typos have been fixed. Nonetheless this commit goes a long
way to resolving issue #1933.
Updated thanks file both with a missing <div> id and added a manifest
improvements section as the manifest is quite important.
We make better use of the rel HTML attribute.
We format the inc/footer.default.html so that it is a
slightly easier to read.
Ran `make www` to perform test the above under macOS.
