LiveCoda, Real-Time Coding Competition

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mad-max-with-keyboards dept.

Robert Shelton points out this "debrief" from ESCI LiveCoda 2006, a live programming competition. From the article: "On Wednesday the 24th of May at Loop Bar in Melbourne (Australia) fourteen teams of programmers gathered for the first ESCI LiveCoda real-time programming competition. Possibly the first performance based real-time programming competition. Before a packed night club with live music, each team had just ten minutes to write a program which could correct a corrupted image." (Here's a mirror of the LiveCoda site).

    you know, since that period of time is used so often, they've actually come up with a specific word for it: fortnight.

    i.e. 1 fortnight = 2 weeks, so bi-weekly = fortnightly
