This is to make it more standard which further allows one to run make on some other source code, say because they want to try and fix an entry but forget to update the Makefile. Or if they're the author they can not worry about it in some cases. But since LDFLAGS is the standard way it seems better to have the LIBS variable in the Makefile be LDFLAGS. Maybe there is a reason to not have this and I'm happy to close this in that case but it does seem better this way so I'm doing this commit.

To build:
make
To run:
./dhyang
Try:
make saitou
./saitou > aku.c
cat aku.c
make soku
./soku > soku.c
cat soku.c
make zan
./zan > zan.c
cat zan.c
make aku
./aku | diff - aku.c
Judges' remarks:
A beautiful combination of solving several different problems, but mostly, the single most impressive layout we've ever seen. Many programs have one interesting layout; this one has four.
It may be informative to run the code through a "beautifier", to study it, but the layout itself is where most of the interest lies.
Author's remarks:
This one is dedicated to Saitou Hajime fans ^_^x
Instead of making one self reproducing program, what I made was a program that generates a set of mutually reproducing programs, all of them with cool layout!
For your enjoyment:
- Compile dhyang.c.
- Run
./dhyangand pipe output to another .c file - Compile that file
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until eventually the output cycles
To interpret the output: the dhyang.c is an image of Saitou Hajime, which eventually generates three sources files that are images of "aku soku zan" (sin swift slay), Saitou's motto ;)
For best viewing, set tab spaces to 8 characters, and set your terminal fonts to as close to square as possible. I hate to do this but you know, size...
dhyang.c and all its output compiles with gcc if your OS uses ASCII character set. No file is included and all functions assume default int return type (a source of compile warnings).
