I have tried navigate the page, but I still have not figured out what the goal was this year, who won, with which program and what has been obfuscated in it.
Is there a better summary of this contest somewhere? Is there a link I'm missing?
- syberspace 8y agoright at the top are a couple of links like rules.txt and whowon.html, those might explain a bit more
- raldu 8y agoGoals: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/rules.txt http://www.ioccc.org/2018/rules.txt Who Won?: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/whowon.html http://www.ioccc.org/2018/whowon.html Guidelines: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/guidelines.txt http://www.ioccc.org/2018/guidelines.txt
- jjoonathan 8y agorules.txt contains rules and the overarching goals of the IOCCC, not the particular theme/goal for this year, and now I've wasted a few minutes poking through it to make sure. Thanks a lot.
- simias 8y agoI don't think there are any "goals" to the IOCC beyond writing the most clever and obfuscated code. There are only rules limiting what's acceptable.
- jjoonathan 8y agoYou pointed me in the right direction, thanks! I was confusing IOCCC with the Underhanded C Coding Contest, which does have a goal / theme. http://underhanded-c.org/#summary http://underhanded-c.org/#summary
- meta_AU 8y agoAre you perhaps thinking of the underhanded code contest?
- 317070 8y agoI am! Good catch, that explains my confusion. :-)
- willvarfar 8y agoEveryone's a winner! :) http://www.ioccc.org/2018/whowon.html http://www.ioccc.org/2018/whowon.html
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoThe page / site really needs a redesign and a bit of writing done. I'm actually of a mind to start a new webpage that does just that, but there might be some copyright issues there.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI'm not sure what copyright issues (writing or code or?) you are concerned about, but you should be able to get around them with a little planning. Just don't outright copy stuff.
- jjuhl 8y agoOr just get in touch with the people behind the site and ask for explicit permission. Seems the simplest way to be sure, no?
- DoreenMichele 8y ago"It is easier to get forgiveness than permission." -- Words of wisdom from a career bureaucrat. I think the simplest way is to just set up a site and make sure you cite your sources. The site under discussion here would be a primary source and should be listed as such on every single page that references any of the data found there. Beyond that, it really depends on what the GP intends. Start a blog and write a little blurb about each winner as separate blog posts? I don't think any permission is needed. Just write whatever you want to say about the project and note that they are the winner listed here and link to the page where they are listed. Start a clone of the site that adds additional info? Yeah, you maybe need to go talk to folks and find out if they are okay with that and get it in writing.
