Hi George,

please give us more information about how the contest is restricted. I mean, I could put literally 1000 instruction in one line, so the line count seems a bit.. well.. not very well chosen as requirement. Plus, I would like to know if and how we are limited to use datafiles to store data (like text, images and sound).

Cheers
Christian

I think they probably mean each line as is delineated by the compiler, or that the semi-colon marks the end of line?

But I don't know it is a good question.

In C/C++, a logical line ends with a semicolon. That is meant here. So if you put 50 commands on a single line, you only have 50 lines left.

Comment lines or empty lines don't count.

it says 100 lines of code and smaller than 10KB. semicolons aren't mentioned in the aum description.

Right, but I'm the boss, and the boss makes the rules.

The boss is always right ;). Try to write the code without using too many semicolons.

will there be a semicolon counting tool to help the judges? a bytes limitation maybe would be the simplest solution but i don't really care. i think this is a nice contest idea.

Something like that can be created with only a few lines of lite-C code.

#define :semicolon: ;


(difficult joke, I know)

sorry
I have a6 only... can I enter?
