The location of the link is in the About menu under the 'Contacting the IOCCC' and above 'Thanks for the help'. At first I had it at the very bottom, under 'IOCCC markdown guidelines', but it seemed better to have it closer to contacting the IOCCC. This is the same location in the no JavaScript menu (which, for those who do not know or forget, is not a requirement except for some screen sizes). The top level Makefile has a new 'security' rule. Updated make help. Typo fixes in make help. SECURITY.html has had a few updates as well: change the wording of entry code is unsupported (it now says 'ALL CODE IN ALL IOCCC ENTRIES IS UNSUPPORTED!!') and it now links to the mkiocccentry repo and how to report a possible security vulnerability in that repo; as that IS supported - and since there was reference to discussing security concerns is in SECURITY.html - even though the entries will not receive security updates - it seemed a good idea to have a link to report such security issues in the mkiocccentry repo. Perhaps the FAQ needs to be updated for this too.
To build:
make
To use:
./dhyang
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
A beautiful combination of solving several different problems, but mostly, the single most impressive layout we've ever seen. Many programs have one interesting layout; this one has four.
It may be informative to run the code through a "beautifier", to study it, but the layout itself is where most of the interest lies.
Author's remarks:
This one is dedicated to Saitou Hajime fans ^_^x
Instead of making one self reproducing program, what I made was a program that generates a set of mutually reproducing programs, all of them with cool layout!
For your enjoyment:
- Compile dhyang.c.
- Run
./dhyangand redirect output to another.cfile. - Compile that file.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until eventually the output cycles.
To interpret the output: the dhyang.c is an image of Saitou Hajime, which eventually generates three sources files that are images of "aku soku zan" (sin swift slay), Saitou's motto ;)
For best viewing, set tab spaces to 8 characters, and set your terminal fonts to as close to square as possible. I hate to do this but you know, size...
dhyang.c and all its output compiles with gcc if your OS uses ASCII
character set. No file is included and all functions assume default int return
type (a source of compile warnings).
