Thank you, @chris-sab, for your excellent work and for helping us commit this alpha version of the topbar. As part of this work, the following HTML sections were removed: * begin-row * begin-leftcolumn * sidenav * end-leftcolumn * begin-rightcolumn * before-content * end-rightcolumn * end-row.default Also added a new HTML section, just above the "header" section: * topbar The web site now as a more modern looking topbar, thanks to the work of the contractor (GitHub user @chris-sab) who is working on issue #2273. Performed `make www` to implement the above and test under macOS. TODO: Fix the Responsive Web Design to deal with the new topbar system. TODO: Improve the topbar. What is there now is just an alpha version. TODO: Decide what to do with `png/ioccc.png`. Remove it make selective use of the image on certain top level pages lower down? TODO: The changes to `ioccc.css` causes some formatting problems with pages such as `location.html` (missing blank lines). Fix formatting problems as needed. TODO: Fix the "Nu HTML check this web page" links on things like the year level _YYYY/index.html_ pages. TODO: Correct all HTML errors, warnings and perhaps informative messages from the Nu HTML check. TODO: Consider adding color (colour) to the web pages in such a way that people with color perception challenges can still use the web site. TODO: For those web browsers that have and allow JavaScript, make use of technology such as [Code Mirror](https://codemirror.net/) to directly render source code (C, shell, Makefile, etc.) with syntax coloring (colouring) directly in the browser. For non-JavaScript browsers, fallback to the current use of GitHub source code viewing.
To build:
make
To use:
./hoyle point ...
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
The obfuscation functions at several levels. Note the clever
use of use of #defines. The #define do(if,else), for example,
is delightful. The code itself contains a bunch of curves
designed to throw you off axis. :-)
Author's remarks:
This application graphs polynomials on a standard Cartesian coordinate system.
Polynomials of the form ax^0 + bx^1 + cx^2 + ... are graphed by passing the
coefficients a, b, c, etc. as double precision arguments. It allows up to
8 parameters (thus up to x^7).
Points of interest:
- the x axis goes from
-32to+31. - the y axis auto scales!
- up to 8 coefficients may be passed in.
- the graph will determine direction and use slashes and
dashes rather than a simple block of
Xs.
For example, to graph y = x^2:
./hoyle 0 0 1
Note that:
./hoyle 0 0 2
will produce the same graph, since the y-axis is auto scaling.
