----------------------------------- zylum Sat Mar 06, 2004 3:39 pm battle forum ----------------------------------- i suggest we make a battle forum where someone posts the rules for the battle ie: -make the best paint program -must have bucket feature -must have line tool -must have pencil tool -must be less than 100 lines long -any program can be used (turing, vb, java etc) deadline: 1 week from now... then users post their programs and after the deadline we make a poll and vote for the best program. it doesnt have to be programing either. it could include drawing the best pixel graphics etc.... so how about it??? -zylum ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Mar 06, 2004 5:01 pm ----------------------------------- more a of a programming board ----------------------------------- zylum Sat Mar 06, 2004 5:07 pm ----------------------------------- well wouldnt participating in these "battles" help you improve your programming skills? you get great ideas for a program and then you have fun coding it while learning new skills. on a different forum that i was part of, they had a battle forum and it really helped me improve my actionscript skills because some of the programs i made were challenging yet fun. ----------------------------------- jonos Sat Mar 06, 2004 5:20 pm ----------------------------------- i think its a good idea. it would give people things to program, help improve programming skills, as well as promote a healthy level of competition among the compsci uesr.s ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Mar 06, 2004 6:00 pm ----------------------------------- not enough active users , and im just not a fan of hte idea , i like my world , id probably never have time to take part in any battles any way ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Mar 06, 2004 6:44 pm ----------------------------------- Battle forum? 1 vs 1 ? team? free for all? I guess it would make things more interesting. ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Mar 06, 2004 6:58 pm Re: battle forum ----------------------------------- i suggest we make a battle forum where someone posts the rules for the battle ie: -make the best paint program -must have bucket feature -must have line tool -must have pencil tool -must be less than 100 lines long -any program can be used (turing, vb, java etc) deadline: 1 week from now... then users post their programs and after the deadline we make a poll and vote for the best program. it doesnt have to be programing either. it could include drawing the best pixel graphics etc.... so how about it??? -zylum whould that not basicly be the contest fourm? there where all ready some like that in there, ushely where users make the chageles and give there own bits, some are for math tho. ----------------------------------- zylum Sat Mar 06, 2004 7:28 pm ----------------------------------- oh, i thougt the contest forum was for like organized contests such as CCC and other waterloo type contests. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Thu Mar 11, 2004 10:14 am ----------------------------------- let me guess,this is from the other forum that i forgot its name. Darkness told me that he wanted to do a link exchange with them, but they replied with an email swearing at him because their site is not as popular as compsci.ca ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu Mar 11, 2004 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- used to be ooturing.psychz.net i think its gone now ----------------------------------- programer007 Thu Mar 11, 2004 8:35 pm ----------------------------------- what you want... essentially is some challenges... why dont we elect a Contest mod, that thinks up challenges... and have them vary for different ranks... under newbe hacker.. make a pong in a week newbe hacker > kick ass hacker - make a shooter.. in a week > kick ass hacker... make something realy hard... in a week ... that might be better then creating another forum that dont get much action.... contest could use some ... as lots probaly dont read the contest forum that much... ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Mar 11, 2004 8:58 pm ----------------------------------- umm... yeah... a better idea might be to just have a list of challanges to accomplish ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Mar 11, 2004 9:08 pm ----------------------------------- let me guess,this is from the other forum that i forgot its name. Darkness told me that he wanted to do a link exchange with them, but they replied with an email swearing at him because their site is not as popular as compsci.ca we aucaly did have a link exchange with them and stoped the war but there site has seemed to have sliped away from exsitance. ----------------------------------- Maverick Thu Mar 11, 2004 9:09 pm ----------------------------------- rank doesnt have anything to do with programming skill, its the number of posts u have it means nothing. ----------------------------------- jonos Thu Mar 11, 2004 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- look at my rank, and i suck at turing, i have trouble with processes. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sun Mar 14, 2004 9:26 pm ----------------------------------- good point.. u could just spam like crxy... or in Zylum's case.. hes a fricking PRO and yet his rank is like programmer or soemthing ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Mar 14, 2004 10:28 pm ----------------------------------- look at me (i think i said this earlier), i can barely program in any language, not even in pseudo code, and look how many posts i have!
