A number of rules have been moved from entry `Makefile`s into the `1337.mk` include file to make it easier for these common rules to be updated or modified globally (by modifying the `1337.mk` include file). The entry level `Makefile`s are now similar in form to the /Makefile.example](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/blob/master/Makefile.example) file from the other repo. The following make rules were moved into the `1337.mk` include file: - `make indent.c` - `make install` - `make diff_orig_prog` - `make diff_prog_orig` - `make diff_alt_prog` - `make diff_prog_alt` This simplifies the entry level `Makefile`s so that they mostly reflect the specifics of the particular entry. Mentioned in FAQ 4.2, that the make diff rules are in the `1337.mk` include file. Fixed invalid TAB character in `faq.md`. Removed `make clean` directives that removed `indent.c`. This file is now removed via `make indent_clean`, a clean rule that also removes `indent.c`. Removed `make clobber` directives that removed sandwich, This file is now removed via `make indent_clobber`, a clean rule that also removes `sandwich`. Added `make indent_clean` and `make indent_clobber` rules into the top level `Makefile` and the year level `YYYY/Makefile`. Performed `make quick_www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
Fifth International Obfuscated C Code Contest
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information on how
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!
You may then wish to look at the Author's remarks for even more details.
The maximum size of entries was raised from 1024 to 1536 bytes, however smaller entries were encouraged. Due to the Best abuse of the rules entry of 1987, a limit of 160 chars in the compile line was introduced.
This year, the Best of Show was given to the most unusual
entry and the best abuse of the C Preprocessor rather than the most well rounded
entry.
Rules and results were posted to comp.lang.c, comp.sources.unix and alt.sources. The 1988 winning entries will be published in the Micro/Systems Journal.
Winning entries for previous years were repackaged with each year being in its own directory. Makefiles and hints were also provided. The package was posted to the comp.sources.unix newsgroup. They are also available on a wide number of USENET archive sites.
