NOTE: The `make update` action should only be done by IOCCC judges. We performed a `make update` as a test. As it was sometimes said over the radio in the past: ""This is only a test." :-) Under macOS, this test was successful!
To build:
make
An alternate version of this program exists. See Alternate code below.
To use:
./prog
Try:
./run_clock
# And watch closely for 15-20 seconds
Alternate code:
An alternate version of this entry, prog.alt.c, is provided. This alternate code uses Unicode letters.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use prog.alt as you would prog above.
Alternate try:
./run_clock.alt
# And watch closely for 15-20 seconds
Judges' remarks:
You may be tempted to use a mirror. Resist the temptation! Try figuring out how the clock hands are drawn. Can you change the program to make it draw a familiar (non-mirrored) clock face? Can you add the second hand?
When using the run_clock.sh shell script, your perception of time might depend on what time it is.
Author's remarks:
Prepare a mirror!
make clock
Note: You need to recompile it each run.
