<h1 id="twenty-first-international-obfuscated-c-code-contest">Twenty First 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 a web site and now has a number of international mirrors.
|
||
The primary site can be found at <a href="https://www.ioccc.org">www.ioccc.org</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Use <code>make</code> to compile entries. It is possible that on non-Unix / non-Linux
|
||
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>).</p>
|
||
<p>Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
|
||
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
|
||
local compiler.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="remarks-on-some-of-the-entries">Remarks on some of the entries</h2>
|
||
<p>We believe you will be impressed with this year’s winning entries. We had
|
||
a very difficult time picking a single best from among the other entries
|
||
because the overall quality of the submissions were so high.</p>
|
||
<p>This year we selected the top 4 entries for particularly high honors:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Gold award - Balanced use of obfuscation</p>
|
||
<p>A very extremely subtle and twisted piece of source code!
|
||
Even if you start with the zeitak.alt.c source,
|
||
you will still have a very challenging time to understand it!</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Silver award - Most elementary use of C</p>
|
||
<p>A fun program that could also have won “Best abuse of
|
||
Ghostscript” because it managed to create some PDF files
|
||
that Ghostscript could not read.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Bronze award - Best use of cocoa</p>
|
||
<p>A picture within a picture is worth more than a
|
||
thousand (4 byte) words. :-)</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Honorable mention - Most complex ASCII fluid</p>
|
||
<p>When you see this program in action, you too will
|
||
very likely say <a href="http://bit.ly/R6ALpK">wow</a> as we did!</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>But don’t ignore the other winning entries! There are games, utilities,
|
||
eye candy, calculators and graphical tools to explore.</p>
|
||
<p>This year, Yusuke Endoh won with two entries, one of which
|
||
(<a href="endoh1/index.html">endoh1</a>) won the special Honorable mention award. Eight of
|
||
the winning entries were from people who won in previous years.</p>
|
||
<p>This year we had a number of authors from Asia. We saw our second
|
||
authors from China and first from Korea. We are pleased to see
|
||
outstanding entries from areas of the world that have not been
|
||
active in past contests. Will we see an upswing of entries
|
||
from South America, Africa and Antarctica next year? :-)</p>
|
||
<p>Please note that judging is done completely anonymously. Please
|
||
do NOT reveal your identity in your source code. In the future we
|
||
may disqualify entries that reveal the identity of the submitter!</p>
|
||
<p>There were some outstanding entries that did not win. Unfortunately
|
||
some very good entries lost because they:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>would take years to execute</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were way way oversize and didn’t even attempt to justify their
|
||
excess by a clever abuse of the rules</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>obfuscate themselves by simply invoking a complex
|
||
state machine</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>depend on a single obfuscation trick</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>could only be run on a particular vendor’s platform</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were very similar to previous winning entries</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were based on an overused theme such as yet another
|
||
fractal display program</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>didn’t work as documented</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
|
||
them for the next IOCCC.</p>
|
||
<p>There is a risk in submitting an entry that is similar to a well
|
||
used theme by previous winning entries. Previous entries set a very high
|
||
bar. A new winning entry must not only compete against other submissions
|
||
form the current year, they must also excel over similar winning entry
|
||
in some particularly impressive way.</p>
|
||

|
||
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong>: See <a href="../contact.html">contact.html</a> for up to date contact details
|
||
as well as details on how to provide fixes to any of the entries.
|
||
See also <a href="../faq.html">the IOCCC FAQ</a> for addition information on the IOCCC.</p>
