The tattoo image now has the code at the top of it (separate but in the same image) so one can see both next to each other. The README.md had some slight improvements in wording and so did the Makefile. Also with the Makefile I tried to make it clearer that the alt entry might not work on some systems. This same style (or something like it) could be done for other entries as well.
First Obfuscated C Code Contest
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the contest was simply
"Obfuscated C Code Contest".
Look at the README.mdfile for the given winner for information on how to
compile the entry 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.
