Although there were a few lines that I kind of looked over quickly, not evaluating the files in question, those seemed in good state anyway. Often that was binary files. In some cases for example input more information was given but not in all as it was not always clear what it should be and it was not always clear that it was necessary. Some typos were fixed as well. Rebuilt .entry.json and index.html files. A few other files were also modified with some minor fixes like 2006/toledo2/README.md for one example. In that case I believe some binary files were referenced as %%REPO_URL%% but that is incorrect. These files were edited before the index.html files were rebuilt so they should be fine. It should be noted that although I have gone through the entire manifest and it might be that issue #1933 can be closed there is still a chance that when I go through the web pages that I might come across a problem that I will fix at that time. This might or might not be needed but that will be determined later. Now might be a good time to run make www but I will worry about that later (it might or might not even do anything, depending on what was missed).
Sixth 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.
Instructions for use: Run make to compile entries (it is possible that on
System V or non-Unix systems the Makefile needs to be changed).
The Makefile for "Best self modifying program" always uses the most portable version because there is no loss of functionality in using it. In the case of the "Best game" entry, however, some functionality is lost in the portable version and so its Makefile uses the original program.
This year, the Best of Show was given to the most useful program.
The "Strangest abuse of the rules" award was given this year to stress the fact that starting in 1990, compiling entries must result a regular executable file.
Rules and results were posted to comp.lang.c, comp.sources.unix and alt.sources. They have been made available on a wide number of USENET archive sites such as uunet. The 1989 winning entries will be published in the Micro/Systems Journal.
