The top link in the topnav bar for or year level `index.html` pages now links to `years.html` instead of the very top level repo/web `index.html` page. Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.1 2024-03-02" to "1.2 2024-04-04". Make `make sort_gitignore` less verbose. Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` VERSION from "1.1.4 2024-03-28" to "1.1.5 2024-04-04". Performed `make www` to implement the above and test on macOS.

<h1 id="thirteenth-international-obfuscated-c-code-contest">Thirteenth International Obfuscated C Code Contest</h1>
|
||
<h2 id="standard-ioccc-stuff">Standard IOCCC stuff</h2>
|
||
<p>View the <code>index.html</code> 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.</p>
|
||
<p>The IOCCC has an official home page: <a href="https://www.ioccc.org">www.ioccc.org</a>,
|
||
containing previous winning entries, information about the judges,
|
||
announcements and much more.</p>
|
||
<p>Use <code>make</code> to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-Unix
|
||
systems the Makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.</p>
|
||
<p>Read over the Makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
|
||
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
|
||
<code>#define</code> i.e. the <code>-D</code> flag).</p>
|
||
<h2 id="where-are-larry-bassel-and-barbara-frezza">Where are Larry Bassel and Barbara Frezza?</h2>
|
||
<p>It is not true that Larry Bassel avoided the 13th IOCCC on grounds of
|
||
superstition! Larry (as well as Landon) is fond of prime numbers.
|
||
Larry is so fond of prime numbers that he decided to become a graduate
|
||
student in number theory at UC San Diego. For this reason Larry
|
||
decided to sit out this year and plans to be back next year.</p>
|
||
<p>Barbara Frezza also went to San Diego to enter into law school
|
||
at the same time. Her cooking in the role of official chef was
|
||
sorely missed. We look forward to her return to the contest
|
||
next year as well.</p>
|
||
<p>Both Larry and Barbara have taken important new steps in their
|
||
lives and we wish them the best. When it is all over, Larry will
|
||
be able to produce obfuscated mathematical proofs, and Barbara
|
||
will be able deobfuscate the many legal obfuscations. :-)</p>
|
||
<h2 id="remarks-on-some-of-the-entries">Remarks on some of the entries</h2>
|
||
<p>This year, <a href="../authors.html#Jens_Schweikhardt">Jens
|
||
Schweikhardt</a> won 3 times
|
||
… a new IOCCC record. Meanwhile, <a href="../authors.html#Brian_Westley">Brian
|
||
Westley</a> came up with his 8th
|
||
winning entry, twice the number of the next highest count. But with people like
|
||
Schweikhardt around, this lead could fall fast.</p>
|
||
<p>As we stated in the <a href="guidelines.txt">guidelines</a>, the authors of the winning entries are
|
||
as much news to us as they are to you because we keep authorship separate from
|
||
rest of the entry. Some people have it, we guess!</p>
|
||
<p>There were a few very good entries that might have won if it were not
|
||
for the fact that they didn’t work. If you didn’t win, but think you
|
||
had a chance: test your program, fix it and submit it next year!</p>
|
||
<h2 id="a-few-notes-regarding-future-contests">A few notes regarding future contests</h2>
|
||
<p>There will be no 1997 contest.</p>
|
||
<p>The next contest will not open until sometime in March 1998, and will
|
||
close sometime around the end of May 1998. The rules for the 1998
|
||
contest have not been formed at this time and are not expected to be
|
||
ready for distribution until late February 1998.</p>
|
||
<p>So what happened to 1997? Well the next USENIX Technical Conference
|
||
will be held Jun 15-19, 1998 (in New Orleans, US). The 18 month
|
||
span between conferences will cause the IOCCC to skip over 1997.</p>
|
||
<p>Be sure to wait until the 1998 rules are posted before submitting entries.
|
||
Rules differ from year to year, sometimes in significant ways.</p>
|
||
<p>Please send us comments and suggestions what we have expressed above.
|
||
Also include anything else that you would like to see in future contests.
|
||
Send such email to:</p>
|
||
<pre><code> judges@toad.com</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you use, distribute or publish these entries in some way, please drop
|
||
us a line. We enjoy seeing who, where and how the contest is used.</p>
