The `display_as` field in an `.entry_json` file must match the regex `^[a-z][0-9a-z]*$` now. This is needed to reduce errors during the final round while converting a potential submission to entry form. Modify `1992/buzzard.2/.entry.json` and `1993/rince/.entry.json` to change `display_as` field to use lower case. Correct `2012/omoikane/.entry.json` to correctly reflect changes made by commit2955e5d07eand commit2955e5d07e. Change `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to verify that the `display_as` matches the above regex. Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.2 2025-06-30" to "2.3.0 2025-07-02". Rebuild all tarballs, both at the entry and the year level due recent changes to `var.mk`, `1337.mk`, and `ioccc.css`. Rebuild sitemap due to the changes above. Ran `make update` to test and perform the above.
To build:
make
To use:
./newbern [file.dat arg]
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
The program is formatted using the same font glyphs as the example data file.
Author's remarks:
This is a configurable banner(1)-like program.
Examples:
- To convert a character glyph into a data file:
./newbern char < some_nicely_shaped_text >> data_file
- To print a string using glyphs from a data file:
./newbern data_file a_string
Extra functionality
The program can also act as a Morse encoder, unarguably.
It also has double-super-secret encryption capabilities. Decryption is left as an exercise for the reader.
Portability
The program assumes an ASCII operating environment.
The program is best viewed with tab-stops set to 8.
