We set LC_ALL=C when sorting in a bin tool. This was done to make the result of using `sort(1)` consistent. Improved how the Primary files and Secondary files are sorted by `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` to sort with "-u -k 1n -k 3.2d". The above will change `index.html` files for all entries. Changed `bin/chk-entry.sh` VERSION from "1.1.2 2024-03-17" to "1.1.3 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-03-04" to "1.3.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-03-04" to "1.1.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/gen-sitemap.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-03-16" to "1.3.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-02-27" to "1.2.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.5 2024-03-18" to "1.5.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-02-23" to "1.1.2 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/tar-all.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-27" to "1.1.1 2024-03-18". Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-27" to "1.1.1 2024-03-18". Performed `make www` to update all entry `index.html` files.

|
||
<h3 id="synopsis">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>The object of this game is to spell <code>POOT</code> as much as possible. There
|
||
is no time pressure. You’re given one letter at a time (sort of randomly
|
||
chosen from the set ‘P’, ‘O’, and ‘T’) and you get to move it freely
|
||
around the border of the playing board, and decide when and where to drop
|
||
it into the board. Sound easy? Of course, there’s a catch…</p>
|
||
<h3 id="controls">Controls</h3>
|
||
<p>Only three controls:</p>
|
||
<p><code>a</code>: moves the current letter one position counterclockwise around
|
||
the border of the playing field.</p>
|
||
<p><code>s</code>: moves the current letter one position clockwise around the border
|
||
of the playing field.</p>
|
||
<p><code>d</code>: drops the current letter onto the board.</p>
|
||
<p>To quit, send a fatal signal to the process.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="rules-of-motion">Rules of motion</h3>
|
||
<p>The different letters move in different directions once dropped onto the board:</p>
|
||
<p><code>P</code> moves diagonally, at a 45 degree angle and in a clockwise direction around
|
||
the board once dropped.</p>
|
||
<p><code>O</code> moves in a straight line perpendicular to the border from which it is
|
||
dropped.</p>
|
||
<p><code>T</code> moves diagonally, at a 45 degree angle and in a counterclockwise direction
|
||
around the board once dropped.</p>
|
||
<p>The letters bounce off the top and sides of the board. They bounce in a
|
||
‘natural’ way, with the exception that <code>O</code>s will fall straight down if they hit
|
||
a side wall.</p>
|
||
<p>The letters stop when they hit another letter or the bottom of the board.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="rules-of-spelling">Rules of spelling</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>When you spell <code>POOT</code> on the board, in any direction, the letters comprising
|
||
the word will disappear, and any letters which may have accumulated above the
|
||
disappeared letters will ‘fall’.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Letters can be used in multiple spellings of <code>POOT</code>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Chain reactions are possible.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="rules-of-scoring">Rules of scoring</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>You get one (1) point for each letter you drop onto the board.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>You get a bunch of points for spelling <code>POOT</code>. More if you spell it in more
|
||
than one way simultaneously.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="some-of-the-obfuscations">Some of the obfuscations</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Several different coordinate systems are used. There’s the “real” X by Y
|
||
system used for curses, the “inside the box” X by Y system used for moving
|
||
things around and finding instances of <code>POOT</code> inside the box, and the position
|
||
of the current letter, which is a single value from <code>0</code> to
|
||
<code>2 * xsize + 2 * ysize - 1</code>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The fact that <code>x%3</code> is a perfect hash function for <code>x</code> values <code>P</code>, <code>O</code> and <code>T</code>
|
||
is used.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Of course, the code is as hideous as possible, and spells <code>poot</code> for fun (It’s
|
||
also exactly 3217 bytes in length, with exactly 1536 counted characters for
|
||
purposes of this contest..</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Love that modulus operator! Mmmm…</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>There are some equations used which are really unnecessarily ugly, which
|
||
served the dual purposes of compacting the code and making it trickier to
|
||
understand. I’m thinking of the equations used to convert between coordinate
|
||
systems when dropping pieces into the game board.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Simple and silly ones: short, meaningless (and sometimes misleading (see <code>x</code>))
|
||
variable names; hard-coded ASCII numeric values used for character constants;
|
||
using <code>goto</code> for fun and profit; reusing and re-purposing variables in different
|
||
places.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The game itself is simple, but still weird and quite difficult.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="some-things-i-wish-i-could-have-fit-into-this-but-didnt-have-the-space">Some things I wish I could have fit into this, but didn’t have the space:</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Seeding the random number generator (doh!).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Something to detect when the game is over.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Some kind of scoreboard.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Sound.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Some way of quitting gracefully.</p></li>

||
</ul>
|

<p>Good Luck!</p>
