Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**. > However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-) The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated. The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`. Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`. Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`. Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`. The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social** to process the new top level `social.html` page. Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13" to "2.0.1 2025-07-25". Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item as added. Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025" due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**. Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025". Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding. Ran `make update` to perform the above.

## To build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is an alternate version, based on the original, that can be compiled in
|
|
modern systems but likely won't do anything. See [Alternate
|
|
code](#alternate-code) below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## To use:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./isaak
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Alternate code:
|
|
|
|
The original version of this code is in
|
|
[isaak.alt.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1988/isaak/isaak.alt.c), with a minor fix so that it
|
|
will compile. The original entry starts with the line:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---c-->
|
|
main(){};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This works on some systems. Why? Note that `#include <stdio.h>` is given on
|
|
the last line. Why is this needed? Note the unusual calls to `sprintf(3)`.
|
|
|
|
This version also relied on being able to define `#define` to something else and
|
|
using that macro for `#define`. This was fixed, however, so that you can at
|
|
least compile it in modern systems.
|
|
|
|
This version will not likely work on modern systems even though you should be
|
|
able to compile it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate use:
|
|
|
|
Use `isaak.alt` as you would `isaak` above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
The program relies heavily on ASCII. Don't even think of running it on
|
|
an EBCDIC machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Historical notes about the original entry
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: If you named the file anything other than `isaak.c`, you had to
|
|
change the `#include` on line 6. This limitation has been fixed in
|
|
[isaak.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1988/isaak/isaak.c) and
|
|
[isaak.alt.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1988/isaak/isaak.alt.c) by using the `__FILE__` macro.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The use of null comments to separate macros to construct different tokens
|
|
from a single macro (e.g., `"O/**/O"` creates either `++` or `--` by defining
|
|
`O` to be `+` or `-`) may cause some strict ANSI C preprocessors to object.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: Most System V machines were not be able to execute this program correctly
|
|
due to the fact that BSD style systems have an `sprintf(3)` that returns a `char
|
|
*`. Due to the above problems, we placed the output of this program in the
|
|
file [isaak.output.txt](isaak.output.txt). Since this was fixed, this file is
|
|
not strictly necessary, but we keep it for historical purposes (decoded as it
|
|
used to be uuencoded). See the
|
|
[isaak.orig.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1988/isaak/isaak.orig.c) for the original source.
|
|
|
|
FYI: We are likely to be more strict about portability in the future.
