For those who haven't seen it, there has been a highly successful thread on the DB Pro board for a long time, where a coding challenge is set and people compete to write a program which meets the challenge criteria within the time limit set.
The person who sets the challenge judges the entries and the winner sets the next challenge and time limit.
The solutions to the challenges are very educational and all code submitted is open source so you can use it freely in your own programs.
But, has anyone wished they could take part, but only has DBC?
I propose that we start a DBC version of the DBPro Coding Challenge thread and show what we can do with DBC.
Remember, if you win a challenge, you can use the opportunity to set the next challenge to solve a programming problem you currently can't get around!
Please note though that the idea isn't to set challenges to write full programs (unless they are very simple) but rather small programs which demonstrate how to do something. (Check out the DBPro thread to get an idea of what I am talking about).
About the only important rule there is with the challenges is that they MUST be media-less. You cannot use any external files - everyone must be able to copy and paste your program straight into DBC and run it. That means no external models or graphics, though you can write code in your entry which generates media.
Anyone for up it?
