Landon Curt Noll 81b4f460b7 require display_as to be a lower case word in .entry.json
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 commit 2955e5d07e
and commit 2955e5d07e.

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.

Judges' remarks:

This tiny program outputs what looks like a tiny keyboard. OK, so the letters are missing. But that is no problem because this program identifies the lower case letters that were pressed!

It is one of those minimal keyboards without all of those confusing symbols keys. No shift for SHOUTING CAPS but at least it does not have that useless CAPS LOCK key!

We recommend that you completely deconstruct / figure out how this program works and does what it does. Can you extend this program to deal with a full QWERTY keyboard? Can you then minimize the size of that code?

Author's remarks:

Limitation

This program ignores non-lower case letters.

Obfuscation

  • for is not used.
  • A part of the program is encrypted.
