We fix more markdown links in markdown files that refer to files internally to the web site. Added tmp tools to find and print various markdown links: * `tmp/md-links.sh` - print all markdown links * `tmp/md-token-links.sh` - print all markdown links that start with a **%%TOKEN%%** * `tmp/md-local-links.sh` - print all markdown links to a local file * `tmp/md-link-paths.sh` - print local file paths referenced in markdown links Fixed a number of markdown formatting problems with `thanks-for-help.md`. Fixed markdown links to files in `thanks-for-help.md`. Improved heading levels in `thanks-for-help.md`, and made entry sections consistent. Changed all markdown links that end in "))" to end in a better way. Explained in `markdown.md` why we are avoiding markdown links that end in "))". Ran `make www` to perform the above. TODO: Fix stuff we broke by mistake doing the above. TODO: Fix more broken markdown links.
First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the
contest was simply "First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest".
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information 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! This year we only had
remarks from two authors but these came years later.
Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the rules in 1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes. Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. The contest was announced in a net.lang.c post.
