make

Selected Judges Remarks:

Clever use of the C99 complex data type. The spoiler.zip file contains clues as to how some winning authors create / edit programs into ASCII shapes.

With the source from the spoiler.zip file could you make the code render for a larger terminal window? How about adding more glyphs?

Author’s comments:

No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

$ gcc -std=c99 prog.c
$ a.out
$ a.out hello.txt
$ a.out yoda.txt
$ a.out bear.txt
