The `display_as` field in an `.entry_json` file must match the regex `^[a-z][0-9a-z]*$` now. This is needed to reduce errors during the final round while converting a potential submission to entry form. Modify `1992/buzzard.2/.entry.json` and `1993/rince/.entry.json` to change `display_as` field to use lower case. Correct `2012/omoikane/.entry.json` to correctly reflect changes made by commit2955e5d07eand commit2955e5d07e. Change `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to verify that the `display_as` matches the above regex. Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.2 2025-06-30" to "2.3.0 2025-07-02". Rebuild all tarballs, both at the entry and the year level due recent changes to `var.mk`, `1337.mk`, and `ioccc.css`. Rebuild sitemap due to the changes above. Ran `make update` to test and perform the above.
To build:
make all
The author provided us with an unobfuscated version. See Alternate code below.
To use:
./ant Makefile
./ant Makefile rule
where Makefile is a Makefile to use and rule is an optional rule to use.
Try:
./try.sh
Alternate code:
This version, ant.alt.c, was provided by the author in 2024, and is an unobfuscated version.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use ant.alt as you would ant above.
Try:
./try.alt.sh
Judges' remarks:
Like much of POSIX, obfuscation has its place. Your task is to figure out where.
This entry comes complete with a POSIX-like command description. Interested POSIX balloters should lobby the IEEE for an obfuscated P1003 subcommittee.
