Sure! I looked at your projects, but none of them really had much programming in them. If you want to be a contestant, maybe make a project so that I can see some of your skills (which I'm sure are good). Otherwise I'm happy to add you as a judge, if you'd rather do that.

Re: Programming...Contest!

What exactly the challenges will involve.  Art, gaming, simulation, etc.  Also, dates for entries.  One more thing:  Clarity of Scripts?  What if it's really complicated so it works well?

Re: Programming...Contest!

The challenges can include anything, but all will be strictly programming based. Once projects are submitted they will be judged by a panel of judges. To answer your question most challenges will play strongly on an AI base. Clarity of scripts does not in any way mean not complicated. That is definitely encouraged. It basically means that no useless scripting is used, and nothing is left dangling. This won't really be an important category though.

By the way, when does this start? I am going to India in a few days, and I won't be back till September.

If it doesn't start till Sept, I'll join.

I'm sorry, it will probably start earlier.
