A number of rules have been moved from entry `Makefile`s into the `1337.mk` include file to make it easier for these common rules to be updated or modified globally (by modifying the `1337.mk` include file). The entry level `Makefile`s are now similar in form to the /Makefile.example](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/blob/master/Makefile.example) file from the other repo. The following make rules were moved into the `1337.mk` include file: - `make indent.c` - `make install` - `make diff_orig_prog` - `make diff_prog_orig` - `make diff_alt_prog` - `make diff_prog_alt` This simplifies the entry level `Makefile`s so that they mostly reflect the specifics of the particular entry. Mentioned in FAQ 4.2, that the make diff rules are in the `1337.mk` include file. Fixed invalid TAB character in `faq.md`. Removed `make clean` directives that removed `indent.c`. This file is now removed via `make indent_clean`, a clean rule that also removes `indent.c`. Removed `make clobber` directives that removed sandwich, This file is now removed via `make indent_clobber`, a clean rule that also removes `sandwich`. Added `make indent_clean` and `make indent_clobber` rules into the top level `Makefile` and the year level `YYYY/Makefile`. Performed `make quick_www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
Seventh International Obfuscated C Code Contest
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information on how
on how to compile it and how to run the winning program.
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
You may then wish to look at the Author's remarks for even more details.
This year, the Best of Show won a standing ovation at USENIX.
The Strangest abuse of the rules award was given this year to stress the fact that starting in 1991, entries should be shell-specific.
This year was the first year that we accepted ANSI C entries. It was interesting to note that the ANSI C entries were as a whole less portable than the K&R C entries. We hope that in future contests people will enter more obfuscated and challenging ANSI C programs.
We would like to thank Barbara Frezza (loving wife of Larry Bassel) for her role as official chef of the contest. Her opinions regarding some of the contest entries were appreciated.
Rules and results were posted to comp.lang.c, comp.sources.unix, and alt.sources. They have been made available on a wide number of USENET archive sites such as uunet.
