The configure script which was in the directory overwrote (naturally)
the Makefile. I moved the configure to source/. I also moved
configure.in to source/ and makefile.in to source/.
Updated Makefile so that running make will work. Probably no need for
configure but since it's part of the entry I kept it.
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.
Add instructions on how to install SDL or SDL2 for macOS, Linux and
Debian for:
2005/jetro
2014/maffiodo1
2018/giles
Put variables and instructions into the top level `var.mk` file.
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.
Formatting and other notes. Many more need to be checked for this but I
wanted these changes out of the way of git status to try and clean my
working changes.
Though this will not work as is I have changed the code to scan for
https as well (it exited before). This is so if someone comes up with a
clever command line to make it work it can. A secure connection has to
be established before http commands can be given but now it at least can
connect (though it's been a while since I've played with sockets so
maybe I'm forgetting some detail - one does have to specify the port but
I gave an example in the README.md file for that).
In the README.md I pointed out that one has to specify http:// (or else
https though with the caveat noted above). I also explained how to
specify an alternative port.
I also noted the https issue in the bugs.md file in the INABIAF section
('it's not a bug it's a feature').
As well I changed the try command in the entry README.md file to refer
to a page that does not use https as trying it on the ioccc website
(what it used to) will just return a 301 error.
I've discovered that this entry has to have the optimiser disabled and
it also requires 32 bit. I believe the 32-bit is to do with the many
bitwise operations but the size of the ints are different. This is just
a hunch though from what I saw earlier when debugging it. The fact it's
32-bit only (at this time?) means it won't easily compile under macOS as
Apple has made it hard to compile 32-bit programs.
It might be possible to change the size of the ints to fix this problem
but it of course could also be entirely true that I'm wrong here. I've
not added this to the bugs file but perhaps it should be added.
Typo fixes in 2005/sykes/README.md.
In chia/chia.c I changed uber to über to be correct (ueber also would
have been okay). It's in a comment so I don't see it as a problem but
let's just say that if it is I'm above it! :-)
The commit 00ae59cd47 had a
mistake that introduces changes to Makefiles for 1996 thru 2020
that should not have been included.
This change reverses these intermediate changes until
the given year's Makefiles are ready.
Move copyright notice to the end.
Add a standard comment about the newly added `README.md` files.
Clean up trailing whitespace.
Fixed a few minor typos.
There are some places (namely the rules and guidelines) where I am not
yet certain if this is intentional (though I've always wondered).
Another file has it but it's a data file in a winning entry and I'm not
sure about that yet either.
Depending on if it was the beginning of the sentence the EMail would
become 'Email' or 'email'.
Some references of 'Email' were changed to 'email' as well as those were
not in the beginning of a sentence.
A few places some consistency of capitalised email address (made lower
case) were changed to match other places of the same pattern.
In a number of cases, an absolute URL for www.ioccc.org
was replaced with a document root relative URL.
In some cases the absolute URL was removed.
Removed mirror request pages.
