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.

## To build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is alternate code which allows one to change the size of the maze. See
|
|
[Alternate code](#alternate-code) below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### To run:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./shapiro
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Alternate code:
|
|
|
|
The code has a define `C` set to 39 but this can be modified to change the size
|
|
of the maze. The alternate code allows one to easily do this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate try:
|
|
|
|
If you wish to change the value you can do it like:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make clobber SIZE=5 alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that if it is not a number then obviously there will be a compilation
|
|
error. If it's <= 0 || >= 5000 then it is set to 39, the default.
|
|
|
|
You might also wish to try:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./try.alt.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This script will compile the program five times with a random value and then
|
|
prompt you in an infinite loop for values to try, exiting only if non-digits are
|
|
in the input.
|
|
|
|
Also try printing out various sized mazes and solving them with pencil or pen or
|
|
in your head.

## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
As submitted, this program was 3 lines (two `#define`s, one code).
|
|
To make news & mail happy we split the last line into seven lines.
|
|
|
|
This program was selected for the 1987 t-shirt collection.
|
|
|
|
We found this program is be simply a**maze**ing! Run this program without
|
|
arguments and notice the output.
