the rules

[recneps]

I have a suggestion... make 3 levels of judging,
1.Newbie - Only had 1 semester of Turing taught (if at all in school)
2.Intermediate - Had 1 yr + teaching, know quite a bit
3.Expert - Speaks for itself, makes awesome programs tha tno one understand how they work

Because i worked really hard on my FP, but now that ive gotten better, i realise it SUCKS lol so maybe with the 3 lvl thing, you could encourage the new people to submit theirs, even though a lot are better than theirs.

Great idea.

Best Newbe FP

Best Programmer FP

Best Hacker FP

the thing is , when you submit , you submit your age and skill level , and you get graded accordingly , so really we already have a level sysem built in

Thanks for explaning shorthair

Whens the new deadline? Its almost mid term here.

[Tony]

end of 2006 school year. Since some (most) schools are semestered, half the students might be taking their computer science course in the other half of the year.

Alright, gives us lots of time

[beforelast]

yea. so are we allowed to submit our final project for school?

also im not really sure if its required. but if should be required to comment forthe most part your program.

Yes, in fact, this is what most people do. You may want to wait till it has been marked though, it's up to you.

Maybe, but you have to keep in mind that many submissions come in compiled form, so there is no way to mark the source. I don't think it's too big a deal to comment a program, and extraneous comments would indeed make the source code worse.

alright and is it turing only?

and the way my school works is you dont get your assignment back. (N) .. but yea.. i should be done it by next friday for the most part. once i get the basic together ill put up a little preview.

and i need some help. i accedentally deleted my copy of turing off my ipod(N) .. any help?

No, it is not Turing only. It is any language which can be run or compiled on most computers. You can submit any program of your own you wish, at basically any time.

If you don't have Turing, you are free to use any other language instead. Or you can use one of your old (compiled) programs if you think they are worthy.

[beforelast]

alright, well im no pro. i only started to program liek a year ago in VB 6. i took Comp Sci for the first time this year (grd 10) .. my friend is crazy in .Net is thatallowed here? it only runs on certain computer because the have to have some other files and stuff. but yea. alright ill have ot wait for monday to get tuing again.

[[Gandalf]]

Yeah, .Net would be allowed since it is a widely available programming environment. It is limited to only Windows, but then again, so is Turing.

Good luck getting Turing back and posting some good FP.

Is there a restriction to what enviroment/compiler you use, cause i recently got coding on Borland DS, and i gota say its like VB except its alittle bit harder and whole heck faster. !

Well as long as I can run it...
