Some information is no longer useful - they were put in during the
IOCCC28 to let people know the version changes during the contest which
noted some useful information.
Also added references to chksubmit.
Rebuilt next/guidelines.html with these changes.
A bug in macOS 26 (is anyone surprised any more?) ends up with warning:
clang: warning: overriding deployment version from '16.0' to '26.0' [-Woverriding-deployment-version]
depending on invocation. Particularly with at least some versions of
gcc, even though in this case it was actually gcc and not the system gcc
that is really clang in disguise.
Because of this -Wno-overriding-deployment-version was added to
next/Makefile.example.
One of the warnings disabled (triggered in macOS) that was already added
seemed to be missing.
I also disabled the silly warning triggered by clang with -Weverything (I
think -Weverything) -Wunsafe-buffer-usage as that is against basic C (it
will not even let you iterate through argv without whining about it
being 'unsafe').
The example in the Makefile given is -Wno-int-conversion instead.
We thank Joel Yliluoma for rendering a record sided 1024x1024 image.
Sorted authors in `thanks-for-help.md` by last name.
Updated `2024/endoh1/README.md` with record sided 1024x1024 image.
Made tarballs `2024/endoh1/2024_endoh1.tar.bz2` and `2024/2024.tar.bz2`
due to the above edits.
Made tarballs `2011/2011.tar.bz2` and `2011/goren/2011_goren.tar.bz2`
based on previous edits.
Ran `make quick_www tar sitemap` to perform the above.
When I first wrote the try scripts, and in particular the ovdluhe.alt.c
code to do what the author suggested one try, I just had the option in
try.alt.sh to redefine P once. Now the user can do that but after the
initial loop it loops from 2..10 (the range the author suggested)
running the loop again (on the three files three times) so one can see
what the author means.
The try.sh script has the updated idea by the judges of printing two
lines, not one, after each prompt.
Rebuilt index.html from updated README.md.
Although it's now 21 lines instead of 20 the number of columns is the
same and the shape is restored (or as close as possible with the need of
the extra line).
Fixed all cases where `TZ=UTZ` was incorrectly used
and replaced with `TZ=UTC`.
Changed `bin/gen-sitemap.sh` VERSION from "2.0.2 2025-07-30"
to "2.0.3 2025-08-23".
Changed `bin/tar-entry.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.0.1 2025-08-23".
Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.0.1 2025-08-23".
This was somehow not added during development but was supposed to be. It
is not going in the main code because that would ruin the amount of
gotos (152 for full version, 134 for practical version) and because the
point of the alt code was to have more events anyway.
Tested this new event. Works fine.
At the suggestion of Landon I have added some tips to both icing and the
cake. It might be possible for more to be added later on but hopefully
these are helpful to those who wish to try it. Something I will try
doing is adding sequential pictures of the icing but that involves
remembering it as we can't make it here until the winter (well we can
but it's a lot harder as even the winter can be fairly hot here,
exceeding 35 Celsius).
And to those who (presumably many) do wonder why I submitted this back
then when it has nothing to do with the contest: I really haven't the
foggiest but since this was requested I am doing it.
The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦). In particular:
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
Landon reported an inconsistency. I discovered a placement issue. I also
added a note. The open issue will take more time to look at and consider
but the inconsistency is at least fixed now.
The truly complete part is a reference to commit
ad622a5354. This also means that prog.c
need never be updated again, which was the entire point of that commit
that fell just short of the mark.
Fixed links in obfuscation.html.
Added litmus test to explain how I actually tested the program with all
the jumps.
Fixed typo in data file that I discovered during the above litmus test.
Fixed other files as well.
The .entry.json had a minor mod too, to better reflect what a file
actually is.
Rebuilt obfuscation.html and index.html.
Added target to Makefile which was also used during testing (this might
be explained in the obfuscation.html).
This is related to the space / word boundary issue (based on how the
language worked) that does not have a good solution. As I think I might
have written in the remarks I tried different ways but each way caused
other problems, problems that would make Navajo -> English not work even
when it should otherwise. Although the index.html already showed some
examples of this it seems good to include some in the bugs.html and add
the INABIAF tag to the index.html.
The alt code was an old version that should not have even been there.
The extra event was something that was meant to be somewhere else (like
it is in the prog.c) and the event (even 23) is something else.
I put in the data files another joke with the intention of using that
for the event until I remembered the event was wrong.
The alt code has an improvement: it now is possible to specify your
hp/stamina and max number of turns.
In prog.c remove an unused variable.
Updated Judges' remarks to better reflect what happens (in particular
improve the commits from yesterday - correcting it but keeping the same
flow of the judges).
Updated deobfuscation.md (rebuilt deobfuscation.html).
Rebuilt index.html.
The file prog.gotos.c has the lines merged so one can use their syntax
highlighter (or grep, see below) to see all the gotos at once (depending
on screen size, perhaps).
For grep try:
grep -E 'goto|hell|heaven|666' prog.gotos.c
if you have colours enabled. The other patterns is because of alignment
that was maintained in the program (one could do this without 'goto' of
course).
A bug was discovered in prog.c (now prog.alt2.c, see below) that has
been fixed. It was not a critical bug but it came about when juggling
things during development, and fixing it means there should now only be
one place where an event might not trigger (or actually it's an event
within an event that does not trigger - polymorphism related).
The prog.c is the goto complete version - what was once prog.goto.max.c
(git status is confused however - it shows that that file is now
prog.alt2.c but actually prog.alt2.c is what prog.c was). For practical
reasons (and to make the judges not weep and curse me quite as much)
this was not the prog.c but since some others have made corrections to
their winning code I have decided to do the same thing here. It was a
hassle to juggle between the different versions and I ran out of the
number of files allowed - that is what I mean by practical reasons.
The prog.c has maintained its thematic 4666 bytes, after some formatting
updates.
Typo fixes were made in some of the supplementary C files.
Makefile updated so that one can compile prog.alt2.c.
.entry.json, index.html and obfuscation.html were all updated.
The judges' remarks were slightly corrected. It is not 134 (now 149)
jumps that occurs but rather gotos. The jumps can be over 1000, in fact
one test run was over 1400, although shorter games can be fewer (though
still a lot).
Other errors in documentation that were artefacts from earlier stages in
development were also corrected, although I'm sure there are more (the
ones that were discovered were ones near to stats that had to be
updated).
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
Ran `make www timestamp` to perform the above.
