Haskell Algorithm Challenge (HAC!)
Required framework:
- possibility to register for darcs repo, see http://www.equational.org/darcs-server/
- mailing-list for idea suggestions
Format:
- 1 week for submission, 24 hours lightning round
- Each contest should focus (e.g. graph-related logic) on one topic, but wrap it in some sort of fun game/competition
- By focussing on one topic it will most likely be more informative to people studying those topics
- It might be possible to promote the use of new libraries through a common darcs repo people can use for contests (for instance NewBinary, PackedString)
- Need for wrapup after each contest such that interesting code can be refactored into the common darcs repo
- Problems should be open, such that newbies can make naive solutions but advanced coders can still have room to explore in
- Extra points for readability and documentation so it can be reused more easily in the generic darcs repo
Additional:
- Through the generation of problems, organizers will become more experienced in collaborative programming while making the framework of the game, or testing a solution for the game
- Try to reuse problem-frameworks... Maybe start with smaller problems and slowly build up as experience is gained
