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 all
There is alternate code which allows one to change the size of the maze. See Alternate code below.
To run:
./shapiro
Alternate code:
The code has a define C set to 39 but this can be modified to change the size
of the maze. The alternate code allows one to easily do this.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate try:
If you wish to change the value you can do it like:
make clobber SIZE=5 alt
Note that if it is not a number then obviously there will be a compilation error. If it's <= 0 || >= 5000 then it is set to 39, the default.
You might also wish to try:
./try.alt.sh
This script will compile the program five times with a random value and then prompt you in an infinite loop for values to try, exiting only if non-digits are in the input.
Also try printing out various sized mazes and solving them with pencil or pen or in your head.
Judges' remarks:
As submitted, this program was 3 lines (two #defines, one code).
To make news & mail happy we split the last line into seven lines.
