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.

NOTE: the two boards will be on top of each other so you will have to drag one off the other so that you can properly play.
NOTE: if there is no X service open this will crash. If this is the case you might try:
./jonth
Try:
./jonth host1:0 host2:0
Judges' remarks:
For extra credit, figure out how you can cheat by taking over a square already occupied by an opponent.
Author's remarks:
This is multi-user tic-tac-toe for X Windows. You may give one or two X displays as arguments to this game.
Known bugs:
Sometimes on Solaris, X gets confused and this program core dumps. The solution:
give two display arguments (./jonth host:0 host:0).
If one (or both) windows look like a copy of the window(s) below, try the
xrefresh(1) command.
Have a nice(1) day.
