Is there going to be another Teamchallange?

Question

I Was wonderin, Since it was a new year and all..

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 1

I would probably be up for it... but it is dependent on what the challenge is. If you could think up a good challenge, I might join.

I am a 10 year old that loves math, games, and computers. 'Binary is as easy as 1, 10, 11.'

Answer 2

It would be my pleasure to work on something in a group. Anyone post your ideas here and we will vote. No matter if there are no challenges assigned. We can make our own challenge.

Answer 3

I have this idea (I named it Password Book):

We create a program by which one can record all his passwords and ID's of emails, social networks, etc. So its kinda like an address book which I think is very helpful since due to many number of online services people have many accounts, and it actually has happened to me many times that I forget some of my passwords.

The features of the program:

- There are 3 (or more) types of information entered: title, ID, password

- It has an automated search algorithm. For example once you type "A" in the search box, all of the titles which start with "A" will appear.

- It automatically sorts the list in alphabetical order of the titles

- All the information is recorded in a *.txt file, so even after you close the program the information will be still there on your hard drive and can be read by the program again.

It might be far from possibility that we make such a program (It can be done way easier with Visual Studio), but we can make a simpler version instead (which doesn't meet all the criteria above).

Thanks,

Behnam

Answer 4

What about Timo So? (He was kinda our leader) :)

I am second to this

This is a great idea. IMO the bolded part will be difficult because there is no equivalent of Listbox control in SB, it can be done using shapes and by any other method of SB though.

I would be happy to work with ya all, I am free this time as my exams are already over.

Merry Xmas!

Answer 6

I have anther idea.

The project work should be divided into small sub project like

• Database
• GUI Design
• Sorting
• Password Encryption
• Searching Algorithm 
• Login System

And distribute them to team members.

Merry Xmas!

Answer 7

Well this is a TeamChallange so we take two teams working on the same type of game, then we see which is better.

Answer 24

  @Everyone

I'm so sorry but I am so busy these days , and I am also going to work on another project with mathman. For now I should say I may not be able to work with you on this project... Hopefully I will join you in future programs.

Answer 25

I probably can not either. Sorry everyone for such short notice, but I am working with Behnam on a different project.

I am an 11 year old that loves math, games, and computers. 'Binary is as easy as 1, 10, 11.'

Answer 26

OK so its

T1 Amir CPS

T1 Codinglikecrazy

---------

T2 Zock77

T2 Cobra 355

---------This should work!!

T1 Please write in when U R ready.

---

Answer 27

Sorry zock I also have been very busy recently I have a huge thesis coming up and I would hate to get a bad grade maybe if we re-schedule this team challege of if you could find someone to replace me.

Answer 28

Whens your thesis?? can we re-schedule the challange??

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 29

Now that many of us cannot work on this project I have a suggestion for those of you left. You can work on a project together in a team! (like Mathman an me are trying to do)

And then we both groups post our games on the forum at some time and see whose game is  better!

Answer 30

We are currently working on a game which probably takes several months to finish.

Answer 31

So no team challenge then...

:-/

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 32

The purpose of team challenge is to make programs and then compare which group did better. We can still do it but not in one week. How about we set the deadline a few months later? If we wanna make something in smallbasic which stands out, we should spend lot more time than one week. You and AmirCPS or any other people can work together.

How about we set the deadline on April 30th?

Answer 33

OK so what are You guys doing??

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 34

We are currently working on a strategy kind of game with a lot of features, upgrades, etc.. (we almost haven't done any of those yet)

But you don't necessarily have to work on the same project. Just anything that you like and think is cool.

Answer 35

I saw your game. Ammo assault that is. If you would like, Me and cobra 355 could compete with you guys...

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 36

Sure, I would love to see you guys working on another project. By the way, where did you see our game? Did Mathman send them to you?

Answer 37

Oh, and we should promise to not post the final result until April 30th (as I previously mentioned). So we will have enough time to make a good complete program.

Answer 38

OK I will start.

BTW I saw tha game here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbasic/thread/15668c4f-9f7a-42b3-a977-58a98d9c8dfd

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 39

Hey guys what's going on here?

---

Merry Xmas!

Answer 40

well Coding like crazy, math man and Behnam can't do the challenge. :( so instead we might compete on this game:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1ps4vlIyM3odTFKOXl5cUF0OEk/edit?pli=1

---

A spark to start a fire is necessary. But mainly you need dry kindling.

Answer 41

Oh, and no need to mention that you guys should make your own version not just completing the work that we started. And it does not necessarily have to be the same game (As I previously said). YOu can come up with something even better.

Answer 42

Has the competition started then? Could someone write up what it is in a new thread... 

The topic, about the game, who's involved, deadline, etc.? I'll make that sticky as a new thread on this topic.

Then I'll turn that content you write into a blog post and link back to the discussion thread.

Thanks!

Answer 43

HI, sorry for the delay

Mathman and me started the game and made good developments but we have left down working on it for a while. The answer is yes. I appreciate the other group to work on another project although we are not sure how long we will go cuz I am so busy these days and may not be able to work on it much more.

I set the deadline on April 30th. But if the other group doesn't wanna compete with us we might post an incomplete version of the game on smallbasic website.

Thenks,

Behnam
