hi. ok ive been requested we make a coding contest...
the rules will be as follows:
you may code in any programming language.
there's no other fucking rules (as lord_zero would put it lol)
the winner will be decided by i and another 2 chosen judges.
the idea to win is to make a faster routine that is to be written, so for example
a function takes 3 seconds to finish, u must write it to finish in 2 seconds to win... the competition will be closed after a certain period of time, you may post as many code samples as u like, but u can't copy code.. if someone posts before you the same code, then you're too slow, dont argue.... but first we need some ideas for the competition... once i have enough ideas, i will make a new thread and link it from here to start competition 1.....
ideas please? lol

some ideas i cant be bothered to type i will post direct from dc
Code:
[22:25:04] <dzadzuks> there are actually 2 ways of giving the code
[22:25:04] <Meka][Meka> ;)
[22:25:06] <dzadzuks> like posting it
[22:25:08] <dzadzuks> or sending it to you
[22:25:13] <dzadzuks> in pm
[22:25:14] <Meka][Meka> hmm.
[22:25:16] <dzadzuks> donno
[22:25:16] <Meka][Meka> no
[22:25:23] <Meka][Meka> because then if someone posted it in main thread
[22:25:30] <Meka][Meka> they woudnt no someone else had pm'd me it
[22:25:41] <Meka][Meka> therefore the thread poster would be first to get point.
[22:25:54] <Meka][Meka> so it has to be displayed publically.
[22:26:03] <Meka][Meka> they no one can argue.
[22:26:07] <Meka][Meka> then*
[22:26:12] <Meka][Meka> and i cant favor someone.
[22:26:18] <dzadzuks> true
[22:26:31] <Meka][Meka> ;)
[22:26:44] <Meka][Meka> plus i get too many pm's
[22:26:44] <Meka][Meka> lol
[22:26:48] <dzadzuks> then u can post after each post like the time u had on ur machine or something
[22:26:55] <Meka][Meka> yep.
[22:27:06] <Meka][Meka> hmm no
[22:27:15] <Meka][Meka> after every few posts.
[22:27:24] <Meka][Meka> then it gives ppl time to wonder...
[22:27:28] <Meka][Meka> if theres is faster then others
[22:27:28] <Meka][Meka> :D
[22:27:30] <Meka][Meka> lol
[22:27:37] <dzadzuks> they can test on own machines too >.<
[22:27:42] <Meka][Meka> yep
[22:27:43] <dzadzuks> compiling allcodes :D
[22:28:03] <Meka][Meka> hmm will need to state which libs and which compiler they used tooo
[22:28:06] <Meka][Meka> for example
[22:28:14] <dzadzuks> wouldnt be bad to split all in languages but that would get TOO WIDE, most used languages etc..
[22:28:15] <Meka][Meka> devc++, or borland c++ 2006, 2007
[22:28:18] <Meka][Meka> vc 2007
[22:28:18] <dzadzuks> like VB competes VB lol
[22:28:19] <Meka][Meka> etc
[22:28:29] <Meka][Meka> well
[22:28:31] <dzadzuks> but not much coders then in each category
[22:28:34] <Meka][Meka> we can have a point system...
[22:28:41] <Meka][Meka> i will compare all the languages to self define languages
[22:28:46] <Meka][Meka> and have a secondary point system
[22:28:52] <Meka][Meka> so the winner is the language winner
[22:29:01] <Meka][Meka> second would be the one that makes the best functioin for there language...
[22:29:10] <Meka][Meka> and then 3rd would be also same.
[22:29:21] <Meka][Meka> so then it wouldt mater on language for 2nd and 3rd place.
[22:29:27] <Meka][Meka> would matter about code.
[22:29:41] <dzadzuks> yeah
