Forums → Programming Forum → The Open Source Coding Challenge #1 - "Pong!" - Discussion

For the Glory and Honor, we bring you;
The First Even Open Source Coding Challenge!

This challenge's theme is Pong and is due January 16th, 2009.

THE DISCUSSION
Are you having any problems writing your code? Ask for help here before submitting your final project.

Was there anything you liked or would like to point out about your own or someone else's code?

Who do you think deserves to win so far, and why?

Do not post any of this information in the Submissions thread! Instead, post here. Non developers are more than welcome to join in the discussion.

JUDGING
Players may judge even if they submitted a game, and even if they are not programmers. Please keep an open mind, and to not be too overly obsessed with your own code to accept anyone else's success.

Unless no agreement can be made, there is no official voting. Instead, the winner will be selected based on a general consensus. The real discussion will be done on the 17th and 18th (but feel free to post your opinions before that), and a winner will be selected on the 19th.

OTHER CONCERNS
Also, should we allow developers to submit more than one game, since there are perhaps not very many developers?

Also, can anyone get ahold of some experienced developers who would be willing to join in the challenge?

I will be setting up an official site somewhere where you can view all submitted content from past challenges which you can learn from.
