The `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` tool will verify that the ssytem has a recent enough version of `pandoc(1)`. We explain why we insist on `pandoc(1)`. version >= 3.1.12.2 in comments where the $PANDOC_MIN_VERSION is set. Added `--wrap=preserve` as a default argument to `pandoc(1)`. While this change will impact every HTML file generated, we believe this will improve the ability of someone to look at the generated HTML and correlate with the original markdown. Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.4.2 2024-03-17" to "1.4.3 2024-03-18". Performed `make www` to achieve all of the above and to generate HTML using the new `--wrap=preserve` `pandoc(1)` mode.

<h1 id="twenty-first-international-obfuscated-c-code-contest">Twenty First International Obfuscated C Code Contest</h1>
|
||
<h2 id="standard-ioccc-stuff">Standard IOCCC stuff</h2>
|
||
<p>View the <code>index.html</code> 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.</p>
|
||
<p>The IOCCC has a web site and now has a number of international mirrors.
|
||
The primary site can be found at <a href="https://www.ioccc.org">www.ioccc.org</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Use <code>make</code> to compile entries. It is possible that on non-Unix / non-Linux
|
||
systems the Makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.</p>
|
||
<p>Read over the Makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may require
|
||
certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a <code>#define</code>).</p>
|
||
<p>Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
|
||
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
|
||
local compiler.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="remarks-on-some-of-the-entries">Remarks on some of the entries</h2>
|
||
<p>We believe you will be impressed with this year’s winning entries. We had
|
||
a very difficult time picking a single best from among the other entries
|
||
because the overall quality of the submissions were so high.</p>
|
||
<p>This year we selected the top 4 entries for particularly high honors:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Gold award - Balanced use of obfuscation</p>
|
||
<p>A very extremely subtle and twisted piece of source code!
|
||
Even if you start with the zeitak.alt.c source,
|
||
you will still have a very challenging time to understand it!</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Silver award - Most elementary use of C</p>
|
||
<p>A fun program that could also have won “Best abuse of
|
||
Ghostscript” because it managed to create some PDF files
|
||
that Ghostscript could not read.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Bronze award - Best use of cocoa</p>
|
||
<p>A picture within a picture is worth more than a
|
||
thousand (4 byte) words. :-)</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Honorable mention - Most complex ASCII fluid</p>
|
||
<p>When you see this program in action, you too will
|
||
very likely say <a href="http://bit.ly/R6ALpK">wow</a> as we did!</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>But don’t ignore the other winning entries! There are games, utilities,
|
||
eye candy, calculators and graphical tools to explore.</p>
|
||
<p>This year, Yusuke Endoh won with two entries, one of which
|
||
(<a href="endoh1/index.html">endoh1</a>) won the special Honorable mention award. Eight of
|
||
the winning entries were from people who won in previous years.</p>
|
||
<p>This year we had a number of authors from Asia. We saw our second
|
||
authors from China and first from Korea. We are pleased to see
|
||
outstanding entries from areas of the world that have not been
|
||
active in past contests. Will we see an upswing of entries
|
||
from South America, Africa and Antarctica next year? :-)</p>
|
||
<p>Please note that judging is done completely anonymously. Please
|
||
do NOT reveal your identity in your source code. In the future we
|
||
may disqualify entries that reveal the identity of the submitter!</p>
|
||
<p>There were some outstanding entries that did not win. Unfortunately
|
||
some very good entries lost because they:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>would take years to execute</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were way way oversize and didn’t even attempt to justify their
|
||
excess by a clever abuse of the rules</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>obfuscate themselves by simply invoking a complex
|
||
state machine</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>depend on a single obfuscation trick</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>could only be run on a particular vendor’s platform</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were very similar to previous winning entries</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>were based on an overused theme such as yet another
|
||
fractal display program</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>didn’t work as documented</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
|
||
them for the next IOCCC.</p>
|
||
<p>There is a risk in submitting an entry that is similar to a well
|
||
used theme by previous winning entries. Previous entries set a very high
|
||
bar. A new winning entry must not only compete against other submissions
|
||
form the current year, they must also excel over similar winning entry
|
||
in some particularly impressive way.</p>
