In 1991 the code blocks in the html files should look better with smaller screens. In one entry, rince, an image was added as the formatting is too complicated to get right. The text was changed from two columns to one column and then a screenshot was taken so that it's a bit easier to see with smaller widths. This looks fairly good on mobile phones too. The only downside, of course, is if the web pages ever change to have a different background or code colour it won't match but it did not look right with mobile phones. This required a manifest update. In 1992 one entry's html file defeated me for now so I had to stop. This can be looked at later. The last entry I am committing changes to is 1991/buzzard.1. It was buzzard.2/buzzard.2.design.md that is a big problem and will have to be done another time.

## To build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are two [alternate versions](#alternate-code) which allow one to not be
|
|
restricted in movements or to change the maximum number of movements, even if
|
|
that's fewer than the original program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## To use:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./rince
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Alternate code:
|
|
|
|
The first alternate version, [rince.alt.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1991/rince/rince.alt.c), disables a maximum move
|
|
count so that anyone with enough patience and time can complete the puzzle,
|
|
without having to worry about how many moves they make, assuming they don't get
|
|
stuck. The second version, [rince.alt2.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1991/rince/rince.alt2.c), allows one to
|
|
reconfigure at compilation the maximum number of moves, even if that is lowering
|
|
the count.
|
|
|
|
The author set the maximum number of moves to 484.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate build:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build both alt versions where the first one, `rince.alt`, has no
|
|
restrictions in the number of movements and the second one, `rince.alt2`, has a
|
|
configurable maximum number of moves allowed, defaulting to the entry's max,
|
|
484.
|
|
|
|
To reconfigure the maximum number of moves to 700:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make clobber MAXMOVES=700 alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate use:
|
|
|
|
To run the first alt version:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./rince.alt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the second alt version:
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
./rince.alt2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Can you figure out how to make the two alternate versions equivalent in
|
|
functionality without modifying the code? That is can you make the second alt
|
|
version end up allowing any number of movements?

## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
In 2023 this entry was updated to allow most ANSI C compilers to compile
|
|
the code and to fix a bug where the win or lose message was not seen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Author's remarks:
|
|
|
|
This program is a simple puzzle type game. (I'll leave you to play
|
|
it to see the rest of it .. :-) .) The general idea was to try and
|
|
write the smallest playable game, but keep the playability and
|
|
enjoyment high.
|
|
|
|
### Instructions:
|
|
|
|
**Key to map**:
|
|
|
|
<img src="map-key.jpg"
|
|
alt="map to key"
|
|
width=800 height=400>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The general idea of the game is to collect all the diamonds. This must
|
|
be done in the minimum amount of moves. I've allowed a margin of 5
|
|
moves which brings the moves allowed to `484` (alter the value of `u` in
|
|
the program to set the max moves allowed).
|
|
|
|
There are two types of boulders. Both can be pushed around, but only
|
|
the hollow (crushable) ones can be turned into diamonds (by pushing it
|
|
onto another hollow one).
|
|
|
|
Of the four types of doors (and keys) only 3 have been defined. This
|
|
was done to keep the source as low as possible (as I only used 3 in the
|
|
map). To unlock a door simply push a key into the corresponding door.
|
|
Take care that it's facing in the correct direction.
