“Let's settle this in a Ruby programming contest”
- chunky1994 15y agoReally cool idea, it would be even more awesome if you can extend it to other languages, like python etc.
- luismmontielg 15y agoYeah, something like that but for python would be great, like http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ http://www.pythonchallenge.com/
- Acorn 15y agoSomeone please make this!
- cmurdock 15y agoCool, but man, could that website possibly take up less of my horizontal screen space?
- abecedarius 15y agoThis is a real problem reading the submitted entries -- each snippet has a horizontal scrollbar and needs it even for ordinarily-formatted code.
- pak 15y agoThe huge super-dotty background actually makes my monitor sound different when I have his page open. I can literally hear the scanlines firing. And this is a laptop LCD. I've never heard this sound before.
- ankimal 15y ago"TopCoder for real world problems"! Great idea. Hope a lot of open source stuff comes out of this or at the very least helps current projects.
- Argorak 15y agoFun idea, I will definitely try it out! By the way: if ( ready? && set? ) { fight! }; ain't valid ruby code :).
- jewel 15y agoHow about: if ready? && set? then fight!
- jkreeftmeijer 15y agoI know the code snippet doesn't actually work, but I used it because it looks pretty cool. `if ready? && set? then fight!` is the first Ruby snippet one that I really like. :)
- stephth 15y agoThis is very cool. It seems like a well thought out process too. Any plans on doing languages other than Ruby?
- noonespecial 15y agoI'd be down for a perl regex fight. The great part about that is the participants would look like they were typing obscenities at each other.
- stewbrew 15y agoIs this supposed to be a successor of the ruby quiz series?
- jcoder 15y agoWait, so the current challenge is to mosaic a 225px-wide image into 10px chunks, without changing the overall size? Not even the power of Ruby can make 225 % 10 == 0
- rogerbraun 15y agoNo, but you can still use 10x10 chunks where possible and use chunks as close to 10x10 as possible for the rest.
- jcoder 15y agoSure, but that wasn't the specced challenge. If you can bend the rules, what becomes of the game? [edit: moved reply to nest]

- atomicdog 15y agoYou want to see the real world of Ruby programming? The one they don't show you in magazines or the E Channel?
