This is a very large commit not only because I forgot to run make www after updating the menus but I also forgot to do that after the update to some of the award titles (only quick-readme2index.sh was used). There is a typo fix in bin/README.md. This commit does mean that md2html.cfg has to be added to bin/README.md but that can be done later. The steps run to verify this works okay: make www git status git diff git add -u make update git status git restore $(git check) The last is important as it is not time for make update. 'git check' is an alias: git diff --name-only
To build:
make alt
To use:
./lycklama.alt < some_file
To see why we recommend the alternate version instead of the original version, see below and the Original code section.
Try:
This alternate version, which we recommend you you try first, prior to the
original, slows down the output so that you can see what it looked like back in 1985.
This will be more enjoyable. It is slowed down by the usleep(3) library
call with a configurable time to sleep. The default is 500 microseconds but you can
reconfigure it like:
make SLEEP=700 clobber alt
which would set it at 700. Then, whether you use the default value or not, try:
./try.alt.sh
Original code:
As explained above, because modern systems run this entry way too fast to fully appreciate what it does, we encourage you to first try the alternate version. After this, however, you might wish to try the original version, fixed for modern systems.
Original build:
make all
Original use:
./lycklama < some_file
Original try:
./lycklama < lycklama.c
./lycklama < lycklama.alt.c
./lycklama < lycklama.orig.c
./lycklama < Makefile
Judges' remarks:
Run the program, redirecting a file into it, and notice how it redisplays it. The program itself looks like tty noise.
