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
To use:
./marangon
Judges' remarks:
The object is to refill the table with 5s, by incrementing or decrementing
numbers as needed. It is the side effects that get you into trouble. If you
are not careful, you may find things "at 6s and 7s". :-)
NOTE: Some compilers have had trouble optimizing this entry.
NOTE: Some systems need to compile with -ltermcap as well as -lcurses.
NOTE: The original winning source
marangon.orig.c assumed that
exit(3) returns a value which cause problems for some systems where exit(3)
returns a void. The file marangon.c
avoids this problem.
Author's remarks:
It starts off by creating a table with the number 5 in all places. The CPU melts
the numbers and you must return them to the original state. When you increase a
number, all the other eight numbers next to it decrease and vice-versa.
