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:
make
To use:
./prog
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
At this point you might be wondering, WTF?*
-
What The Freak (polite form)
-
What's This For? (you may be wondering)
-
What the Fish (python form)
How is this code obfuscated? Well look again:
less prog.c
more prog.c
Where did those underscores come from? Well RTFS!**
** Read the Freaking Source (polite form) ** Read The Freaking Screen (polite form)
If you are still puzzled, look at prog.c with your favorite text editor.
Author's remarks:
Follow these instructions literally!
cat prog.c
gcc -w -o prog prog.c
./prog
You will do a double take.
Hint 1: Do less prog.c. You will see an emphasized string if your
terminal supports bold.
Hint 2: Do wc -c prog.c. This is very long one-liner.
Hint 3: Open the source with an editor like vim or emacs.
