ICFP Contest Underway

Posted by timothy on from the hop-on dept.

iseff writes "The ICFP Contest (reported first here) is now underway. There's probably still some time for us slackers to code up something for the first round. This year's problem is similar to the board game Cops and Robbers. What I find cool about this year is the split into two parts -- code the original spec, then wait, get a new spec, and modify. Plus, any language is accepted, even though it's a 'functional programming' contest."

    I would probably enter a contest or two if the project was a bit "deeper" than cops and robbers. I'm sure it takes skill to do this, but I mean, how about something that keeps the interest a bit more?
