A note of interest is that commit1d7a2692eawas rolled back as it was problematic. This was accidentally done in a commit to do with the manifest update (I think5d4f9ff907but possiblye7756cfb31instead).
In 1984 the first annual Obfuscated C Code Contest was held
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the
contest was simply "First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest".
Look at the README.mdfile 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 which 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.
