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.

<h3 id="conways-game-of-death">Conway’s Game of DEATH</h3>
|
||
<p>This is a challenging, fast-paced arcade game, based on the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life">Game of
|
||
Life</a>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="story">Story</h3>
|
||
<p>In the game, you are Mr.C, a lightweight spaceship making a futile dash for
|
||
escape from the rigid rules and predictability of life in the B3/S23 universe.</p>
|
||
<p>Use the up and down arrow keys to steer: collisions are fatal for Mr.C! Learn
|
||
to spot incoming gliders, skim the surfaces of beehives and blocks, and give
|
||
blinkers plenty of space. Things get crazier as Mr.C picks up speed… can he
|
||
escape?</p>
|
||
<p>No. There is no winning. Sadly for Mr.C, this universe goes on forever. Just
|
||
see how far you can make it!</p>
|
||
<p>Press <code>q</code> any time to quit.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="features">Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>casual gameplay</li>
|
||
<li>infinite, procedurally generated universe</li>
|
||
<li>progressive difficulty</li>
|
||
<li>animated splash screens</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="limitations">Limitations</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Flicker, especially at high speeds, and in spite of “double-buffering” (X11
|
||
doesn’t make it possible to lock drawing to the display refresh rate.)</li>
|
||
<li>Cannot be run outside of the directory containing the data files (<code>splash.d</code>,
|
||
<code>dead.d</code> and <code>sprites.d</code>).</li>
|
||
<li>Cannot build or run without X11 (or an X11 compatibility layer).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="wish-list">Wish List</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Score keeping</li>
|
||
<li>Color</li>
|
||
<li>In-game instructions</li>
|
||
<li>Sound</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="hosts-tested">Hosts Tested</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Darwin 10.8.0 i386 (clang 1.6 and gcc 4.2.1)</li>
|
||
<li>Linux 2.6.32 i686 (clang 1.1 and gcc 4.4.3)</li>
|
||
<li>Linux 3.2.0 x86_64 (clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6.3)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="obfuscations">Obfuscations</h3>
|
||
<p>The code is formatted into a 14-cell shape which will evolve into a glider in
|
||
19 generations.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of globals, including a global <code>struct</code> whose members have the same names
|
||
as global variables.</p>
|
||
<p>Global variables getting reused in different contexts.</p>
|
||
<p>Huge and convoluted expressions, abusing ternary operators and operator
|
||
precedence.</p>
|
||
<p>Lots of magic numbers, abuse of the relationships between magic numbers, and
|
||
abuse of the arithmetic properties of magic numbers.</p>
