I don't think I'll have the pleasure of making the conference, but
anyone know what kind of questions are part of the contest usually? I've gone to a dozen programming contests, some ACM, some local companies, etc, and in each and every one I could've wiped the floor with Smalltalk, at least with the questions they ask, mostly thanks to our awesome class library. Just curious!

Hello Aaron,

Just curious! Last year, the goal of the contest was to write a program that could play 4 varieties of pong by interfacing to a web server running the game. At the conference, the finalists were given 2 hours to have their programs be able to play a surprise variety. If you go to ftp://sqrmax.homeip.net, and login with user smalltalkVideo and password now, there is a folder that has the original game servers and a sample implementation for the 2006 STS Coding Contest, as well as footage of a talk describing the approach. -- Best regards, Andres mailto:[hidden email] |
