someone should make a EULA that says, in it's entirity "YOU MAY NOT INSTALL/USE THIS SOFTWARE IF YOU HAVE READ THIS EULA, YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS EULA BEFORE CONTINUING INSTALLATION"
If i get a 3 year old to open/install all of my software for me, do i have to abide by the EULA?
Here is a spread that will satisfy even the most picky gamers at your next lan gathering

Ok, so it's been awhile since ive been in intro to programming, so if some of this is beyond the scope of the class forgive me or feel free to modify it so that it fits. But one thing that makes a good assignment is a good reward at the end (other than credit), letting the student feel like they have really accomplished something neat.
This is a program i had thought about writing and posting for free on the web, but i got caught up in other things.
The map syntax for BZ flag is reletivly simple and could easily be generated in a C program, it would be interesting to write a program that would ask a few questions and based on the response generate a random map for BZFlag.
I could write the program in a couple of hours, so if you give a group of 2-3 students a week to complete the project (plus time to examine the extrmemly simply BZflag Map syntax) it should do well at seperating out the good, average, and poor programmers.
Make a point of specifiying that the program working should not be enough, it should be lean as possible, and include documentation.
At the highschool i just graduated from, we used to play BZFlag after school, or during class when there wasn't much to do or if we had a sub. We had a couple of linux boxes that we set servers up on. We had a few people including myself who got into mapping and we would get the entire CS dept. PC Lab going, though it must have been a shock to people playing on the server from ouside the school about how the bell would ring and 99% of the people on the server would quit. BZFlag was a great incentive too, get your assignment done and you can spend the rest of the class playing BZFlag.
