Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**. > However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-) The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated. The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`. Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`. Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`. Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`. The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social** to process the new top level `social.html` page. Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13" to "2.0.1 2025-07-25". Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item as added. Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025" due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**. Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025". Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding. Ran `make update` to perform the above.
To build:
make all
To use:
./august
Try:
./try.sh
If you have the primes(6) tool (sometimes part of
BSD Games) you can see
what of the output in the first N (say 15 or 25) lines are primes:
./primes.sh # 15
./primes.sh 25
Note that try.sh will run this script anyway, telling you where to get
primes(6) if you don't have it installed, but it will only run with the
default value of 15, rather than trying several different values.
Judges' remarks:
An interesting use of a recursive call to main(). Compile and execute
without args. What is the initial value of b? Does it alter the
action of the program?
If you let it, the program will continue to print a numerical sequence (can you guess in what base it is printed by looking at the code?) until you run out of memory or until they sell your computer, whichever comes first.
If you use the primes.sh script can you figure out if there's anything funny going on with the output?
