Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**. > However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-) The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated. The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`. Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`. Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`. Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`. The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social** to process the new top level `social.html` page. Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13" to "2.0.1 2025-07-25". Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item as added. Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025" due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**. Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025". Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding. Ran `make update` to perform the above.
To build:
make all
There is alternate code which allows one to change the size of the maze. See Alternate code below.
To run:
./shapiro
Alternate code:
The code has a define C set to 39 but this can be modified to change the size
of the maze. The alternate code allows one to easily do this.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate try:
If you wish to change the value you can do it like:
make clobber SIZE=5 alt
Note that if it is not a number then obviously there will be a compilation error. If it's <= 0 || >= 5000 then it is set to 39, the default.
You might also wish to try:
./try.alt.sh
This script will compile the program five times with a random value and then prompt you in an infinite loop for values to try, exiting only if non-digits are in the input.
Also try printing out various sized mazes and solving them with pencil or pen or in your head.
Judges' remarks:
As submitted, this program was 3 lines (two #defines, one code).
To make news & mail happy we split the last line into seven lines.
This program was selected for the 1987 t-shirt collection.
We found this program is be simply amazeing! Run this program without arguments and notice the output.
