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.

## Alternate code:
|
|
|
|
An alternate version of this entry, [prog.alt.c](%%REPO_URL%%/2020/endoh3/prog.alt.c), is provided. This
|
|
alternate code uses Unicode letters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternate build:

|
|
|
### Alternate try:

## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
You may be tempted to use a mirror. Resist the temptation! Try figuring out how
|
|
the clock hands are drawn. Can you change the program to make it draw a
|
|
familiar (non-mirrored) clock face? Can you add the second hand?
|
|
|
|
When using the [run_clock.sh](%%REPO_URL%%/2020/endoh3/run_clock.sh) shell script, your perception of
|
|
time might depend on what time it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Author's remarks:
|
|
|
|
Prepare a mirror!
|
|
|
|
``` <!---sh-->
|
|
make clock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: You need to recompile it each run.
