In the case of 1984, 2001 and 2005 the anonymous authors had location codes but the country code for anonymous locations is XX. This has been done and the authors.html, location.html and the respective index.html files have been rebuilt. One file was not touched because I was not sure how to best approach it as an email was provided and possibly other things too (in particular a second author of 2015/endoh1).
First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the
contest was simply "First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest".
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information 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! This year we only had
remarks from two authors but these came years later.
Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the rules in 1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes. Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. The contest was announced in a net.lang.c post.
