General Question

Socks 08 Apr 2008 19:50

Should we have both 68k Basic and 83 Basic use the same challenges page? If so, that would be simple. If so, we should decide whether to have the strings for each be the same or not, though (One Challenge 3 string or a "83 Challenge 3" and "68k Challenge 3" string).

This is what I think a prize could be.

What if we had made a small TI-83 program that only the Site-Admin's have, which displays a picture of a crown (or chocolate cake, as one person has previously won) and a list of winners for each challenge (not a description of the challenge, just a "Challenge 1 - burr"). Or maybe it would have a challenge description?

The idea is that it is an EXCLUSIVE program, which isn't posted up on the forums, and is personally e-mailed by one of the site-admins to the winner. That makes the program special because of it's rarity and exclusativity.

But then the program would be out of date to early winners (their program would show all program winners until the one they won). So perhaps make a portal or page on the site that gives access to only the winners of the challenge, so that they may retrieve the updated file at their will, and it still remains exclusive.

But that wasn't my question! Or even close… I was asking about how it related to the 68k challenges.

While I like your enthusiasm, that sounds like a lot of work — you have to remember that programmers are lazy :D Maybe instead of a program, we could do a programmer spotlight or create a challenges hall of fame. What do you think about those ideas?

They're good. Now, will somebody answer the question in the first post here, please?

Ok. I would use two separate challenges pages.

That's why I started a new post, rather than replying to your thread. It is all under the section of "General Questions" under the "Program Challenges" thing, so I thought my question/new post would apply here.

True, programmers are lazy, but all we need is one program, and simply add names from there onwards.

A hall of fame is good.

I'll add a hall of fame.

Should it just have the name, the name and what the program did, or the name and the program code?

Have the name of the winner, name of the program, challenge description, and a link to the program. Also, could we use the challenge I said on BlackCat Software and use it here too?
