| Would anyone be interested in a monthly programming challenge? I'll explain: this place is a superb resource, with plenty of really bright, sharp people always willing to pitch in and help. I've bookmarked countless great threads on this forum, where people jump in and refine a piece of code until it's pretty near-perfect. So why not a monthly challenge where people can pitch in to create a really specific piece of code? For example, how do I create the scrolling text effect you see at the beginning of the Star Wars movies? How do I create a simple firework effect? How does dynamic 2D lighting work? How can I create real-time lens flare? I think it could be quite fun... |

| It be nice if everyone can do the coding challenge :) |

| thalamus: are you ever going to update FishEd? if not can i have the source code to play with? |

| Oh I got an idea .. I kinda forever wanted an abstract implementation of a buffered text area with selectable text, auto-linebreaking .. gotta see if i can find some time for this. Ooooh that would be so awesome =) |

| Smilertoo - I emailed you a few weeks back about FishEd... didn't you get my mail? |

| @BeAnAge - That's a great example. :) |

| It'd be nice if the challenge wouldn't be too big. Years ago there was a 256-char oneliner challenge which resulted in quite a few interesting thingies. It certainly was an active thread. Why? Because it was small, so not a lot of work, meaning the choice to compete is easy. Everyone has some lost half hour somewhere, enough to make an entry. |
