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 alt
We recommend that you use the alt version to see what the entry looked like back in 1996. For the original version see the original code section.
To use:
./eldby.alt
To quit send intr (typically ctrl-c).
NOTE: to reset the sanity of your terminal after this program ends try reset.
Try:
This alternate version, which we recommend that you use in order to see what is
happening with modern systems, and to not flash too quickly, which can be
problematic for some people, can be configured to different speeds by way of the
value used in usleep(). The default is 35000 but you can easily change
it. To do so try:
make SLEEP=20000 clobber alt
./eldby.alt
Original code:
This version is the original which has no sleep time in between updates.
Original build:
make all
Original use:
Use ./eldby as you would ./eldby.alt above.
Judges' remarks:
We were impressed by the author's ability to render spheres in 3D in a very small chunk of code.
Author's remarks:
This program shows flying spheres. The program eats CPU on lesser equipped systems. The program will run until termination. Terminals must be VT100 or better with 80 columns and 24 rows or more.
