Contests Future

[Jean.B]

I think that it should be done using C/C++

why should it be done using C/C++ in VB forum?
i like the idea of the contest.. beginner/medium and hard level would be cool, im looking forward to the contest

Is there really going to be another contest?

I'm a fairly new programmer and Loved (with a passion) the whole contest idea.
All of you skilled programmers might not realize it but for a novice its a major help to see different forms of code doing the same job, it seems to give me a better understanding of the techniques.

It's intresting to me to see a program think in steps, so the solitaire idea sounded cool, or some other puzzel challenge.

But what are we waiting for, anyone else ready to see another contest started?!

(Just wanted to say THANKS to any mods who can take the time to do it)

There aren't any plans at the moment to start another competition, but you could have a go at Merri's challenges (which some people are still doing):

• QuoteSplit challenge
• SmartReplace challenge

..or you could have a go at the previous competitions:

• 6 - Sudoku solver
• 2 - Path finder
• 1 - Prime numbers

..the ones above had several entries, and the code can be found in the Contest Entries forum.

I don't think the following competitions ever happened in the end:

• 5 - Text Editor
• 4 - Alarm clock
• 3 - Ant farm
