idea of code contest

hi,

it would be nice to do a code competition in December

rules:

each forum users can present one or more programs

the program should be 100% in xojo (no declares, no external plugins)

deadline:

December 1-15, each person wishing to participate would post on

the thread forum the source code of the program (zip format)

December 16-31, each user’s vote for a maximum of three programs

3 points for the first
2 points for the second
1 points for the third

beginning of January, the competition results

all sources code is included on a archive

the first 3 winners must have prices (licenses offered by sponsors (materials, licence key…)

What do you think ?

Are you offering to sponsor this contest?

Why the “pure Xojo” restriction ?

to ensure a level playing field(?)

From personal experience I can foresee lots of people saying “oh, count me in”, and then a week or so later, they all forget about it, and it never gets mentioned again.

Good idea if I only had some spare time left. :slight_smile:

It never hurts to toss the idea. But are we not all engaged in a continued contest for the killer software in each and every way ?

From personal experience I can foresee lots of people saying “I have nothing to prove”, and a moment later they all forget about it, and it never gets mentioned again.

Here is a link to a code contest for another dev platform. Interesting contest idea.
