Depending on if it was the beginning of the sentence the EMail would become 'Email' or 'email'. Some references of 'Email' were changed to 'email' as well as those were not in the beginning of a sentence. A few places some consistency of capitalised email address (made lower case) were changed to match other places of the same pattern.

The 20th IOCCC contest window is:
|
|
|
|
| 12-Nov-2011 11:00:00 UTC to 12-Jan-2012 12:12:12 UTC
|
|
|
|
RULES:
|
|
|
|
To help us with the volume of entries, we ask that you follow these rules:
|
|
|
|
1) Your entry must be a complete program.
|
|
|
|
2) The size of your program source must be <= 4096 bytes in length.
|
|
The number of characters excluding whitespace (tab, space,
|
|
newline, formfeed, return), and excluding any ; { or } immediately
|
|
followed by whitespace or end of file, must be <= 2048.
|
|
|
|
3) Submissions should be performed using the instructions outlined at,
|
|
|
|
| https://submit.ioccc.org/
|
|
|
|
| (Will be available 2011-12-01)
|
|
|
|
4) If your entry is selected as a winner, it will be modified as follows:
|
|
|
|
Your 'build' instructions will be incorporated into a
|
|
makefile. If your build instructions *is* a makefile then
|
|
it should be portable and usable from within a master
|
|
makefile.
|
|
|
|
Your program source will be renamed using an identifier of
|
|
our choice (usually your family name or anonymous) followed
|
|
by an optional digit, followed by '.c'
|
|
|
|
Your entry will be compiled into a file with the above name
|
|
minus the '.c'.
|
|
|
|
If your entry requires that a build file exist, state so in
|
|
your entry's remark section. The makefile will be arranged to
|
|
execute a build shell script containing the 'build'
|
|
information. The name of this build shell script will be your
|
|
entry's title, possibly followed by a digit, followed by '.sh'.
|
|
|
|
If needed, your entry's remarks should indicate how your entry
|
|
must be changed in order to deal with the new filenames.
|
|
|
|
5) The build file, the source and the resulting executable should be
|
|
treated as read-only files. If your entry needs to modify these files,
|
|
it should make and modify a copy of the appropriate file. If this
|
|
occurs, state so in your entry's remarks.
|
|
|
|
6) Your program source must be able to be compiled cleanly by an ANSI C
|
|
compiler, or if there are any compile errors, they must be documented
|
|
in the "remarks" section of your submission.
|
|
|
|
7) The program must be of original work. All submitted programs are
|
|
are thereby put in the public domain. All explicitly copyrighted
|
|
programs will be rejected.
|
|
|
|
| 8) Entries must be received prior to 12-Jan-2012 12:12:12 UTC.
|
|
|
|
An email a confirmation of submission will be sent to the sender
|
|
before the close of the contest.
|
|
|
|
9) Each person may submit up to 8 entries per contest year. Each entry
|
|
must be submitted separately.
|
|
|
|
10) Entries requiring human interaction to be built are not permitted.
|
|
|
|
11) Programs that require special privileges (setuid, setgid, super-user,
|
|
| special owner or group) are highly discouraged.
|
|
|
|
12) Legal abuse of the rules is somewhat encouraged. An entry that, in
|
|
the opinion of the judges, violates the rules will be disqualified.
|
|
Entries that attempt to abuse the rules must try to justify why
|
|
their rule abuse is legal in the submitted "remarks".
|
|
|
|
13) Your source may not contain unescaped octets with the high bit set.
|
|
I.e., your source may not contain octet values between 128 and 255.
|
|
|
|
14) Any program that fails to compile because of lines with trailing
|
|
control-M's (\r or \015) will be rejected.
|
|
|
|
15) When you submit your entry you must have a valid email address
|
|
that can both send and receive email. The online submission
|
|
method is a two phase process that requires the use of an
|
|
approval code. This code will be emailed to you as part of
|
|
phase 1.
|
|
|
|
Entries submitted without a working or valid email address will
|
|
be disqualified.
|
|
|
|
The judges are not responsible for delays in email, please plan
|
|
enough time for one automated exchange of email as part of your
|
|
submission.
|
|
|
|
16) You are STRONGLY encouraged to submit an original entry.
|
|
Submissions that are similar to previous entries are discouraged.
|
|
|
|
| 17) The total size of your submission: the sum of the size of the program,
|
|
| hints, comments, build and info files MUST be less than one megabyte
|
|
| in size.
|
|
|
