View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information on how
on how to compile and run the winning program. Look at the winning source and
try to figure how it does what it does! You may then wish to look at the
Author's remarks section for even more details.
The IOCCC has an official home page, www.ioccc.org, which contains previous winning entries, information about the judges, announcements and much more.
Use make to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-Unix
systems the Makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.
Read over the Makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
#define i.e. the -D flag).
This year Sriram Srinivasan joined the judging.
The moderator of comp.unix.wizards did not feel that the IOCCC was “wizardly” enough to be posted to comp.unix.wizards so we will no longer post the winning entries to this newsgroup - we’ll let you the reader decide for yourself the wizardry of these entries.
This year there were several people who won more than once and several previous winning authors as well. The judging was done without knowledge of the names of the submitters - multiple winning entries were a coincidence. Since we tend to discount entries that are similar to previous entries, these people had to come with original ideas to stay in the winning entry circle.
We wish to thank CAIP at Rutgers University for the use of their machines.
Due to changes in the USENIX conference calendar, the 1996 contest will be delayed. Because there will be no Summer 1996 USENIX conference, the 1996 IOCCC entries will be announced at the Jan 1997 USENIX conference.
The 1996 contest will not open until sometime in October 1996, and will close sometime around the end of December 1996. The rules for the 1996 contest have not been formed at this time and are not expected to be ready for distribution until late September 1996.
Be sure to wait until the 1996 rules are posted before submitting entries. Rules differ from year to year, sometimes in significant ways.
