uhh, YOU taught me DP AJ. I also learned the theory from TopCoder's excellent tutorial. I think the last thing Mr Hughes taught me before I took my CS education into my own hands was the bubble sort algorithm

[zero-impact]

So you call giving me a link to a tutorial on TopCoder teaching now? ;p

[saltpro15]

uhh how about explaining the concept in full to you?

Your karma is not as bad as that of ecookman.

Really? Ok...

You should try coming to the compsci.ca meet at spring break next year. Hopefully I'll get to meet a lot of the people here.

zero-impact's soon will be if I have anything to say about it mwuahahaha

[zero-impact]

Yet I have done nothing to deserve it. Well, at least not that much.

Let's not get too off topic here.

So, I was planning on conducting a Mock DWITE this month (sometime in the next 2 weeks). Would anybody be interested in participating in such a contest?

[saltpro15]

sure AJ

and @ zero-impact, your sarcasm detector must be failing...

And how do you plan to do this?

[A.J]

Well, I'll make the questions and put it on here, and you guys just download it and do them yourselves.

[bbi5291]

I was actually thinking of hosting it on the PEG Judge (with automatic scoring). It would be massively laggy, but then again it would still be faster than marking by hand.

Do you want me to look into this? (It does have the disadvantage that everybody who wants to participate would have to inform me, preferably through e-mail, so I can create temporary accounts for them that can be easily deleted later with a simple SQL query.)

[A.J]

Brian, I would be very much obliged is you could.

[Analysis Mode]

Oh, but I'm sure Brian's not gonna want Turing to be supported.

[A.J]

Well...try finding a way to support Turing (as there are a lot of people at my school who are new to programming and willing to compete at DWITE).

And Brian, we have to do this sometime soon.
