The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦). In particular:
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
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.
This program was selected for the 1987 t-shirt collection.
We found this program is be simply amazeing! Run this program without arguments and notice the output.
