Landon Curt Noll ffb738af07 create new status.json model
Changed the model of `status.json` model.

Updated `status.json` IOCCC_status_version from  "0.2 2023-05-22"
to "1.0 2024-03-09".

Updated FAQ 2.6, improving how IOCCC entries announced.

Moved `bin/ioccc-status.sh` to `tmp/ioccc-status.sh`
now that we have a new status.json model for
which this tool no longer fits (sorry tm Canada 🇨🇦).

Added `status.md` markdown to explain the `status.json` model.

Added `status.html` to both display the contents of `status.json`
and render the contents of `status.md` as HTML.

Added `bin/status2html.sh` to convert `status.json`
into HTML for the `status.html` file.

Added `bin/gen-status.sh` to form `status.json`
and `status.html` files.

Added `make gen_status` to top level Makefile.

Performed `make www` to complete all of the above.

First International Obfuscated C Code Contest</h1>
<h2 id="standard-ioccc-stuff">Standard IOCCC stuff</h2>
<p>View the <code>index.html</code> web page for the given winning entry
for information on how on how to compile it and how to run the winning
program. Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what
it does! You may then wish to look at the Author’s remarks for even more
details.</p>
<p>The IOCCC has a web site and now has a number of international
mirrors. The primary site can be found at <a
href="https://www.ioccc.org">www.ioccc.org</a>.</p>
<p>Use <code>make</code> to compile entries. It is possible that on
non-Unix / non-Linux systems the Makefile needs to be changed. See the
Makefile for details.</p>
<p>Read over the Makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
<code>#define</code>).</p>
<p>Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
local compiler.</p>
<h2 id="remarks-on-some-of-the-entries">Remarks on some of the
entries</h2>
<p>We believe you will be impressed with this year’s winning entries. We
had a very difficult time picking a single best from among the other
entries because the overall quality of the submissions were so high.</p>
<p>This year we selected the top 4 entries for particularly high
honors:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Gold award - Balanced use of obfuscation</p>
<p>A very extremely subtle and twisted piece of source code! Even if you
start with the zeitak.alt.c source, you will still have a very
challenging time to understand it!</p></li>
<li><p>Silver award - Most elementary use of C</p>
<p>A fun program that could also have won “Best abuse of Ghostscript”
because it managed to create some PDF files that Ghostscript could not
read.</p></li>
<li><p>Bronze award - Best use of cocoa</p>
<p>A picture within a picture is worth more than a thousand (4 byte)
words. :-)</p></li>
<li><p>Honorable mention - Most complex ASCII fluid</p>
<p>When you see this program in action, you too will very likely say <a
href="http://bit.ly/R6ALpK">wow</a> as we did!</p></li>
</ul>
<p>But don’t ignore the other winning entries! There are games,
utilities, eye candy, calculators and graphical tools to explore.</p>
<p>This year, Yusuke Endoh won with two entries, one of which (<a
href="endoh1/index.html">endoh1</a>) won the special Honorable mention
award. Eight of the winning entries were from people who won in previous
years.</p>
<p>This year we had a number of authors from Asia. We saw our second
authors from China and first from Korea. We are pleased to see
outstanding entries from areas of the world that have not been active in
past contests. Will we see an upswing of entries from South America,
Africa and Antarctica next year? :-)</p>
<p>Please note that judging is done completely anonymously. Please do
NOT reveal your identity in your source code. In the future we may
disqualify entries that reveal the identity of the submitter!</p>
<p>There were some outstanding entries that did not win. Unfortunately
some very good entries lost because they:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>would take years to execute</p></li>
<li><p>were way way oversize and didn’t even attempt to justify their
excess by a clever abuse of the rules</p></li>
<li><p>obfuscate themselves by simply invoking a complex state
machine</p></li>
<li><p>depend on a single obfuscation trick</p></li>
<li><p>could only be run on a particular vendor’s platform</p></li>
<li><p>were very similar to previous winning entries</p></li>
<li><p>were based on an overused theme such as yet another fractal
display program</p></li>
<li><p>didn’t work as documented</p></li>
</ul>
<p>We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
them for the next IOCCC.</p>
<p>There is a risk in submitting an entry that is similar to a well used
theme by previous winning entries. Previous entries set a very high bar.
A new winning entry must not only compete against other submissions form
the current year, they must also excel over similar winning entry in
some particularly impressive way.</p>
