Renamed `ioccc.ico` to `favicon.ico`. Correctly added use of `favicon.ico` to all constructed HTML headers. Fixed the smart quote in HTML elements problem. Moved HTML "DO NOT EDIT" comments down below at the bottom of the HTML phase 1 section. According to to the Nu Html Checker, a charset attribute on a meta element found after the first 1024 bytes. Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from "1.1.3 2024-03-28" to "1.2 2024-03-30". Improved `bin/gen-status.sh` to adjust the "status_update" value only when the "contest_status" is changed. Performed a `make www` to perform and test the above under macOS.
To build:
make alt
We recommend that you use the alt version to see what the entry looked like back in 1996. For the original version see the original code section.
To use:
./eldby.alt
To quit send intr (typically ctrl-c).
NOTE: to reset the sanity of your terminal after this program ends try reset.
Try:
This alternate version, which we recommend that you use in order to see what is
happening with modern systems, and to not flash too quickly, which can be
problematic for some people, can be configured to different speeds by way of the
value used in usleep(). The default is 35000 but you can easily change
it. To do so try:
make SLEEP=20000 clobber alt
./eldby.alt
Original code:
This version is the original which has no sleep time in between updates.
Original build:
make all
Original use:
Use ./eldby as you would ./eldby.alt above.
Judges' remarks:
We were impressed by the author's ability to render spheres in 3D in a very small chunk of code.
Author's remarks:
This program shows flying spheres. The program eats CPU on lesser equipped systems. The program will run until termination. Terminal must be VT100 or better with 80 columns and 24 rows or more.
