Entry source is now prog.c for IOCCC years 2014 thru 2020, or is now dirname.c IOCCC years 1984 thru 2013. To achieve this state, we renamed the following: renamed: 2004/hibachi/src/hibachi.c -> 2004/hibachi/hibachi.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt2.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt2.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.orig.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.orig.c Modified `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` to add to entry `index.html` file, links to the `Makefile` and the _C code_ to the top navigation bar. Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.2.2 2024-02-25" to "1.3 2024-03-02". Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar from `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`. Changed `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar from `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.year-index.sh`. Changed `bin/subst.year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`. Changed `tmp/gen_author_json.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2023-06-06" to "1.1 2024-03-04". Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`. Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-03-09" to "1.3 2024-03-04". The manifest and the resulting `.entry.json` files have been changed for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane`. The Makefiles for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane` copy the source file into the "previously used location". The `make clobber` rule removes the copied source. The `.gitignore` files have been updated accordingly. Improved how the concept of IOCCC terms _entry_, _author_ and _submission_ are used in markdown files. Links to markdown files (files ending in .md) within the repo were changed to link to HTML files (files ending in .html). Special cases where `README.md` became `index.html` were modified accordingly. Fixed URL for `bugs.html` in Makefile comments. Fixed name of `bin/sgi.sh` referenced in comments in `.gitignore` files. Links to locations within the repo are now relative. For example a link to `/contact.html` may become `../contact.html' or '../../contact.html` depending on the directory level of the markdown file. Nearly all links with absolute URLs under _https://www.ioccc.org_ or `https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc_ have been changed to relative paths within the repo. Some exceptions to this (such as referring to a GitHub repo) were preserved. Fixed a number of inside `faq.md` and `bugs.md`. Added HTML name tags (in the form of an _entry_id_) for each entry referenced in `bugs.md`. Fixed links from outside of `bugs.html` into `bugs.html` accordingly. Where FAQ entries are referenced, a named tag is used so that if a FAQ is ever renumbered, links outside of `faq.html` will still work. Changed the _inventory_order_ of a compressed tarball from _300_ to _100000_. While this may have been done for the manifest, this changed had not yet been propagated into the `.entry.json` files. Links to web sites that were in the for <URL> are now [URL](URL). Performed `name www` to process all of the above. Improved format of `authors.html`. Full names are now bold. Location codes are now links back into `location.html` and location names (both default and common) are now italics. Added _author_handle_ each author. Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-25" to "1.2 2024-03-09". Improved format of `location.html` as location codes are now bold, author counts in a given location are now bold, and location names (both default and common) are now italics. Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23" to "1.1 2024-03-04". Added italic location name after location code in entry `index.html` files. Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.4.1 2024-02-23" to "1.5 2024-03-04". Added _Location of authors_ to the sidebar as a link to `location.html`. TODO: While nearly all of the above mentioned changes are likely correct, they likely introduced a few errors that need correcting.
To build:
make
To use:
./meyer [SEED]
Try:
./meyer [SEED]
For your first input try:
a 0 1
where a is the row (a-i), 0 is the column (0-8) and 1 is the
number (1-9).
NOTE: if you do not input three different 'words' it will block. You can input more text to fulfil the program's requirements.
NOTE: if your move is invalid it will prompt you again but not show the board.
Judges' remarks:
This entry turns a newspaper solitaire puzzle into a competition with the computer to be the last one moving. The object of this source code is to determine the object of this source code! :-)
Author's remarks:
I wanted submit a fully object-oriented entry to show that object-orientated code:
- is ridiculously bloated.
- is unreadable.
- isn't '
WYWIWID' ('what you write is what it does') anymore.
But I just totally failed. No, I didn't fail in showing any of the points above. Before I even had the chance to prove any of these claims, (1) already brought me to my knees. The code got so bloated up, that I missed the size limit by a few hundred bytes. Therefore, I broke the only rule in this contest, I think you shouldn't break in any case: Rule Nr 2, The size of ...
The degree of claim (2) actually depends on the compiler. As I manually translated it from a generic object-oriented programming language to C, it didn't just end up unreadable, but awfully messed up, i.e. obfuscated.
As it is already (pre)translated to C, you could also call it an object- disoriented program.
Comparing this program to a potential object-oriented implementation,
it is obvious, that object-oriented code isn't 'WYWIWID' ('what
you write is what it does'). It may be tempting to think that
Object o;
might do something similar as
struct not_an_object o;
But this program reveals that it doesn't. Even worse, this program only reveals the tip of the iceberg, what kind of black magic is involved in a simple declaration of an object.
A few things you can explore about object-orientation in this program include:
- constructors (invoked by the new operator).
- new operators (every class gets its own new operator at compile time).
- virtual method tables (all the virtual method tables have been combined to a single vtable).
- runtime method binding.
- inheritance and polymorphism.
It is left as an exercise to the reader to find a corresponding implementation in a popular object-oriented programming language.
Starting the game
./meyer [SEED]
Gameplay
It is a sudoku based game. The goal of the game is to be able to do the last valid 'move'.
On your turn you have to set a free cell to a value between 1 to 9 without breaking the following rule. Any number must be unique in its:
- row
- column
- 3x3 block.
Expected input for your move:
row column number
where
row: [a-i]
column: [0-8]
number: [1-9].
The game can be aborted with q.
The one who can do the last move wins the game.
