So I was surfing around today, trying to find something to fill those extra summer hours. I found
www.codewalkers.com coding contest, so I get all excited as I read through the cool things I would get to program, and then maybe win stuff. Turns out, it's on hiatus (since October '04). So does anybody know another good site with programming contests? Codewalkers had some cool ones, like a maze solver (example here:
http://www.demoscene.hu/trajic/maze/index.php). If there isn't a good contest site already in place, is anybody in for creating a contest league here on Chief Delphi? Over the span of a couple months, theres a new challenge each month. Winners of the contest get points, special awards (neatest code, etc.) also give points. At the end of the season, person with the most points wins something.
You would be able to program in any language, as long as it got the job done. If we ever evolve to having script vs. script challenges, a uniform language will have to be decided on. I'd
really like to get something like this together, so post back with your ideas.
