    WTF?

    Right at the top of the page it says:
    "The source code has not been released yet. The winners will be notified by EMail soon. They will be given a chance to review the write-up of their entry. Once this process is complete the source code will be made available on the winning entries web page. We anticipate that this will be in mid-December."
    Can I buy some pot from these moderators and the parent poster?

    The source code is usually published a month or two after the winners are announced. I dont know why, but this is typical.

    Dont worry, most of us wont be able to read the source code anyway.

    I can't wait until the code is out! I'm really excited by this one:

    Most superfluous output

    Francois Boutines - XML Voronoi diagrams generator
    Toulouse, France

    I've been wanting to write a voronoi generator for a game-map-development project (maps for a Risk clone). But I could only find mathematical definitions, not any good code that clearly laid out the algorithm. Hopefully this program will be nice and clear (and well-documented!) so that I can reproduce the algorithm from it.

    RTFA. It quite clearly states that the source will be released later this year after the participants have been consulted.
