What are the groups? 83/83+, 85/86, 82 and the 68k calcs?

Probably just each calc has it's own. Are they doing 80 and 81? ;-)

The plan was 82/83/83+, 85/86, and 68k, though there are no 82 or 85 progs featured this year, and only one 86.

does it have to be released this year?
or does the first one include all programs in archives?

-jordan
btw-snood should win for 83+

Yes, it has to be released this year.
Yahoo!! I just got third in the VICA C++ programming competition. Yay!!

third sounds pretty crappy to me...
out of how many

-jordan

ps-u missed school fer it?!?!?!
i would have entered (and got last) just to miss school

The judge screwed us over because it was supposed to be written and about AP classes, but it was really on the computer, nothing about the AP classes, most of us had never used a .NET compilier before. Mine kept mislocating files so I had to start a new project and copy/paste before every compile. I'm still going to state, however.

Have fun; I won 1st place in the VICA SkillsUSA C++ competition for 2003. There was no compiler though, they made us type in a text file and turn it in.

I was dissapointed though because it was only a bunch of problems you have to solve; I thought we were going to have to make something...but it's still good; I got a nice scholarship to DeVRY! I was only upset that they don't have nationals for C++ (I would have gone to nationals). It's funny though, because I typed "Null" wrong through the whole thing (I found out later).

Good luck to you though;

ps, if you think of going into CIS, know that it is a major for programmers who won't know diddly about computers; its a business major. I'm switching to Computer engineering because it has everything, and there is not much for me to learn in CIS that I don't already know.

I did not mention that it was the IL state competition; I didn't have to go to any previous competitions though.

By the way, I looked in the catalog, and it says that CIS will set you up as the programmer for the XZY corporation; they make widgets. You just get to make programs for their database and do stuff with their network. Computer Engineering Technology actually has "software Engineering" as one of the career choices after it; it will set you up to be the programmer for sun, microsoft, nintendo...you program for a company who makes software/programs, and NOT widgets! on top of that you'll know computers and electronics on every level, and Operating systems architecture and all levels of software down to the internal system workings and everything. CIS will teach you how to program, go a little further (you will learn a little about OS architecture and stuff), but you will take LOTS of business courses and stuff; it's business oriented!

I have to stay in CIS to keep my scholarship though; I am actually taking all Computer Engineering courses, and the common general ed classes are keeping me technically in CIS for a while until I have to switch to go any further :)

Cool, what's the VICA C++ programming competition?

shouldn't you wait till january to do this?

oh well... i'd probably be too lazy to update my programs anyway (and they definitely wouldn't have a chance to win...)

What a pity, my OS won't be out by then. Maybe ill try for 2004

What OS might that be?

Doors QZ.

Just a new one for the TI-83+. It's supposed to be abit like CP/M. Unfortunately, all the existing programs will have to be reassembled to run on it. However, I think it will be good for the serious programmer as it will have a built-in assembler a bit like ZDS. A later release will have multi-tasking capabilities.

The main differences are elimination of the FPS, better GetCSC codes (each letter key has its ASCII code attached to it), an "allocate temp RAM" routine that creates the "SafeRAM" that u need. I'm hoping for a release date near the start of 2005.

Sounds pretty cool... but what's FPS? Frames per Second? First person shooter?

Ah, to be the winner....

Of course, you cannot win, lest you have a program uploaded. I really need to start programming again. I have found how my mom deletes my stuff, and can hide better. I think I will start this week, and maybe I can have a program if the year next year....

Hmmm...you could bury your files in a subfolder of C:/Windows/System/ named something like drivers32. She would never find them! :-)

BTW, thanks for defending me recently on the message boards.

Huh? Did I miss something?

What is your mom's method of deleting files? I would be so ticked if my parents did stuff like that. I can't even imagine...

My main deal is a registry hack that does not allow the uninstall to show uo in the uninstall box. I could go into detali, but I have no reason to. If iam asked, I will.

-W-

Interesting... I'm normally too afraid to play around with the registry.

As you should be. I am as well. However, I am not too worried. Minly becaues, I am only deleting string values that have nothing to do with program operation (unless you count the uninstaller, in which case, it does not hurt it).

-So I will continue to continue to pretend that I, W, have skills

Have you heard that one about going into MS-DOS and renaming the file with a CHR$(255) at the end? Apparently, that write protects it, in some way. It's weird, I tried it once.

Have you heard the one about the lift?
I doub't you'd get it, it works on multiple levels ;)

I do that on the computer I'm sharing with my parents at the moment, not to hide my stuff, but just to keep it out of their way so they don't have to worry about it. I keep everything (including software) self-contained in my personal folder.

hehehe, my "personal folder" named Brian with that yellow XP star icon, is well over 2GB. And it just has personal files (old downloads or scripts that i still use), documents, programming stuff, flash downloads, etc. 4000+ files. If I were to move (reinstall) a whole bunch of junk into my folder, like activeperl, djgpp, cataclysm, Ground Control, codemagic, my four java installations (3 unsucessful :), Lotus Notes and Smartsuite, AOK and AOK:TC (each 719MB), Office XP, Rise of Nations, Empire Earth and Conquest, and World Book 2000, I would have a ~12 GB folder. On a 19GB hard drive :)

Mine (including software) is only about 600MB right now. But I usually clean my stuff out a lot and archive things onto CD-Rs that I'm not using at the moment. And this computer only has a 7GB HD. :)

My "My Music" directory is over 20GB. Mainly CD images, personal programs, etc. It also has about 20mb of music :)

Wow, and I have been quite satisfied with just a few GB for my data. :-) But I keep all my music on CD-Rs rather than the HD since I like to listen to them in my MP3 disc player too.

20 MB of music? :-) I have >300 MB - Bon Jovi, Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down, Def Leppard, Boston, etc. -I once calculated that I have about 8 straight hours of hard rock on my hard drive.

Peh, a mere 3GB for me :)
About 99% of which I own the CDs for, I hasten to add... the rest is stuff like game remixes and music ripped off DVD soundtracks.

I have over 12 GB of music on my computer.

12 GB!!!!!! :-O What do you listen to?

"Lest you" does not mean "unless you". It means "so that you don't". As in, "You should go to class and study, lest you fail the final exam."
