# Most recyclable Yusuke Endoh ## Judges' comments: ### To build: make endoh2 ### To run: make all You'll need to have Ruby installed to run all the automated check make check ### Try: cat jpeg.c Look at jpeg.jpg in an image viewer program. ### Selected Judges Remarks: This is a program which, when fed its own source, generates a program that almost is its whitespace inverse, which, in its order, generates a JPEG file (speaking of file size abuse, that is about 16.4 times larger than a PBM file with the same image, but the source was also abusing the size counting program...) Don't pay attention to the OCR ~~behind the ruby curtain~~ --- it's a straightforward bitmap comparison. ## Author's comments: ### Highlights * LZ77-like compression for font and template data * tiny JPEG encoder * Zig-zag space-filling curve * Discrete cosine transform * JPEG Huffman encoding (cheeting) ### Notes I picked JPEG instead of PNG, GIF, or BMP because it is the most difficult to generate. I believe that the JPEG encoder is the world's smallest ever. Nevertheless, the program was too big to meet the IOCCC's size rule. So I created a smaller bootstrap program that generates the main program. `prog.c` contains fragments of the main program *as a comment* which `iocccsize -i` does *not* count. I gratefully think the judges for spoiling the size rule this year. I think the program will work on any major platforms and compilers. ### Legal This program uses (a part of) Proggy Tiny Fonts which is distributed in MIT License: Copyright (c) 2004, 2005 Tristan Grimmer Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
