I've been programming in C++ for about a year and a half or so, and I've found that I like what the language can do for me. I also know that there are many talented programmers on this forum.
So, I figured...Why not see what other people can do? I was thinking about holding a C++ competition. I would make up a task, post it up, and the winner of the competition would be rewarded. For simple programs, the reward would be around 500k - 1M. Medium difficulty programs could be around 1M - 3M. Hard programs could be from 3M - 7M. And really difficult programs could be around 7M - 12M.(h)
If you're wondering, the way the winner would be rewarded is pretty simple. Just let me know who you are in RS, and then I'll take the money and we can go out to wildy (or PVP) and you just kill me. Pretty straight forward.
Oh, and if you want to do well with this competition (if it happens) here's a bit of C++ info you should know about:
+ Pointers (*, **, this, ->, etc.)
+ Arrays (standard and multidimensional)
+ Functions (void and returning)
+ Classes (including base classes, and derived classes, as well as constructors/destructors)
+ Templates
+ Overloading (operators and functions)
+ Header files/CPP files
+ Reading and Writing to files (text files and binary files)
+ Recursion
Many of that information above will be included in the more difficult programs, not necessarily the easy ones. So if you understand everything from above, and you decide to participate in the competition, then you find yourself with quite a bit of money in a short amount of time
So, tell me what you think! If there are enough people interested, and enough people like the idea, then I'll start deciding what I want people to create for the first competition!![]()

I suppose that, even if you have code that doesn't yet work or isn't fully completed, I'll still take a look at it and judge it to the best of my abilities. The person with the most amount of the program completed will get some of the prize (not all of it since the program isn't done).
