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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## To use:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./lievaart
|
|
# enter a level and start playing as described below
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Try:
|
|
|
|
To see what it would have looked like without the size restrictions:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./lievaart2
|
|
# enter a level and start playing as described below
|
|
```

## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
We believe that you too will be amazed at just how much power Mr. Lievaart
|
|
packed into 1024 bytes!
|
|
|
|
This Plays the game of Reversi
|
|
([Othello](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversi))! Compile and run. It then
|
|
asks for a playing level. Enter 0-10 (easy-hard). It then asks for
|
|
your move. A move is a number within 11-88, or 99 to pass. Illegal
|
|
moves (except for an illegal pass) are rejected. Then the computer
|
|
does its move (or a 0 to pass), until the board is full.
|
|
|
|
It plays rather well, for such a small program! Lievaart had to leave out the
|
|
board printing routine, so you'll have to take a real game board to play it (or
|
|
see below). ... Also due to space-limitations (the rules for 1987 had a limit
|
|
of 1024 byes), Lievaart took out the passing-handler, which makes its
|
|
ending-game rather poor. But further it knows all the rules, uses [alpha-beta
|
|
pruning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-beta_pruning), and it plays for
|
|
instance on mobility(!). Most important: it can play a pretty good game of Reversi!
|
|
|
|
The Author was kind enough to supply the fully functional version of the
|
|
program. The file [lievaart2.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1987/lievaart/lievaart2.c) contains what the program would
|
|
have been without the size restriction. This version has the full end game
|
|
logic and displays the board after each move! See above for how to use this.
