On 26 July 2020 it came to my attention that two of my 2020 IOCCC entries have won! I'm very very happy and incredibly proud. This brings my total to three now. In time here I will give more information but for now these tweets is all there is for this entry:

Cody Ferguson @xexyl from US wins the @IOCCC award 'Don't tread on me award' for #IOCCC27

— IOCCC Judges (@ioccc) July 26, 2020

Congratulations @xexyl on winning with your fine @IOCCC entry to #IOCCC27.

Which entry? A slight hint, given the award title: Think about the Gadsden flag.

p.s. You will receive access to a git repo of all of the #IOCCC27 winners so that you can test your and 14 other winners. https://t.co/VRNJVlXPzZ

Also the who won page on the official IOCCC website.

I will probably have more information on this entry in time but for now I only include an example of the drawing mode (look at the actual tweet's image for a better idea) and also a link to the entry itself.

The winning entry can be found here. However there seems to be a problem on both the GitHub and the ioccc.org website with my entries due to the way they changed the publication: particularly the .markdown files were renamed to .text files. Thus I ask you to please download the tarball here. Note that there won't be the footer notes that are on the IOCCC markdown and html files but compiling the entry shouldn't have any problems (please tweet to me if there's a problem and I'll correct it). The judges did tell me that there are some problems with the new set up so for now this will suffice. Also for this entry the html files had some problems due to my markdown that I fixed but due to the changes in publication they never got fixed (I fixed them but I was unfortunately not able to commit them before publication).

Whilst waiting on the @ioccc judges for the publication of the 27th #ioccc entries I've been cleaning up files here and there. But this is a demonstration of the drawing mode in Snake: imperfect due to the nature of terminals but still. pic.twitter.com/9l4YzPn6Is

In the bugs file I noted that it appears that some input devices other than the keyboard can trigger input; I gave the example of on my MacBook Pro the trackpad if I swipe down and then up the snake runs into itself. I learnt today, 12 August 2020, that it's because of the keypad being enabled - in order to accept arrow keys. Thus this is a necessary consequence of using arrow keys (which have always felt more natural to me than other keys for movement).
