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 annual Obfuscated C Code Contest
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the
contest was simply "First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest".
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information 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! This year we only had
remarks from two authors but these came years later.
Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the rules in 1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes. Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. The contest was announced in a net.lang.c post.
