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
To use:
./prog < input > output
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
If you look closely at the source, you will see code that appears to puts C code that includes itself. How and why? Perhaps it is in the DNA code of the code? Perhaps there are 23 reasons? :-)
Author's remarks:
Remarks
This chromosome program synthesizes a double helix. The helix can also be compiled as a C program.
Enjoy DNA programming!
For more information / background reading:
-
This program was inspired by Acme::DoubleHelix: http://search.cpan.org/~xern/Acme-DoubleHelix-0.01/
-
The synthesized helix just includes the original program at the head. Do you see how prog.c determines whether it was invoked as a standalone program or included as a header file? Note that it does not use any gcc extension such as
__INCLUDE_LEVEL__. -
The synthesized helix of course follows the base-pairing rules for DNA: A is bonding only to T, and C is bonding only to G.
