BASIC Programming Language#1(NEW RULES)

anon1 · Jul 6, 2005

There will be one monthly contest for those whom have spare time to program. For this first contest, you may use any BASIC dialect, and you could use C++. I've decided that there isn't going to be a specific task. You pick what you want to create, and do it! I will judge the first contest, although in the later future, I might have a mod co-judge with. Things to Remember:

* Any Dialect of BASIC or C++
* You pick what you want to create
* Once per month. You must have it finished by the end of this month, or it won't even be considered, no matter how good it is.
* NO PRIZE:JUST FOR A FUN LITTLE MONTHLY CONTEST

I might try this, not sure if I will be able to come up with anything or not though. Does the program have to be compiled when it is submitted? Win/Linux/anything?

anon1 · Jul 7, 2005

Pref. Windows for the first contest. You can compile it, or just include the source code. There will be a vote by the people for whom did the best job on their program. Remember, you could have a defragmenter to a word processor. It doesn't matter. Just as long as there isn't any inappropriate content.

I'm in!

Any Dialect of BASIC or C++

does that include VB

anon1 · Jul 8, 2005

Yes it does.

Krieger · Jul 12, 2005

Does this include things that you've already written? I've got several "cool" things... one of which is an encrypted P2P chat tool for use over the net or LAN. The really neat thing is that I went back months later and reprogrammed it to self generate an encryption key between the client and host.

Hi tspier2... I can see the value in leaving it completely open-ended -- but one idea for future contests: perhaps give a motif ... it doesn't have to be specific to one application, such as a "word processor," but maybe something like "Communications" or "Network Utilities." It would leave it open enough to allow a great freedom of choice, but help focus the effort a tad...

Krieger · Jul 12, 2005

lol... well it took a couple of weeks working on it, and actually I need to make a change to it, so I think that should count

anon1 · Jul 13, 2005

I was considering that, although when I did, I realized that without the completely open-ended first contest, I wouldn't have a narrowed down idea of what most people program. If I were to use the communications/network idea, that would leave out the word processor and compiler people. I need to get a generalization, based on the applications that are submitted.

No PHP?

anon1 · Jul 16, 2005

In this first challenge, there is no PHP. I have the rules included, throughout the thread. Just view the rules, and if they don't apply to you, wait until the next contest.

anon1 · Jul 22, 2005

If nobody is going to participate, I'm going to have a mod close this thread down. Make your last wishes, or tell me if you are going to participate.

DaWiper · Jul 22, 2005

I'm interested. Deadline?
I need some time to get settled with my newest toy. Blitzmax.

mccoyn · Jul 22, 2005

I think I'll submit pi-loop. Its written in Managed C++.

Krieger · Jul 22, 2005

What are the critieria for winning?

Do you want just the app, or the source as well?

If you want the Source, what exactly are you looking for in it? Effective commenting, Unique code base? reusablity?

I would like to participate(at least those contests using languages I'm familiar with), but I think perhaps we should work on a scoring system, and or select judges...

anon1 · Jul 23, 2005

Since nobody has started, the deadline will be Augest 24th. The program itself is required, and the source only betters your chances of becoming a winner. The other programmers that enter, will be the judges. On Augest 24, I will take a vote, and we will see who the winner is. Good Luck! Happy Programming!

DaWiper · Aug 3, 2005

Bump!
Anyone started working yet?
I'm soon finished with a small almost usefull utility.

seadave77 · Aug 8, 2005

I hope to be finished with mine by the end of this week.
