Hey Guys,
Over my school I found out that HP is hosting a programming competition in March, I'll probably be participating and I wanted to give you guys the chance to do so too!

My school has a computer club that will definitely be interested in this. I may be able to go. I have to check dates though.
It sounds interesting

EDIT:How many people can there be per team and does it cost to register?

I think they also have places in other cities, lol, because for me is no way to go there and teachers went to me and asked if I wanted to join and they said it wasn't far. (I'm near sacramento)

The only one listed on their site is in Houston. You might want to check with your teacher on location

I did that and there is one in Roseville, near Sacramento too.

Everybody gets a bunch of tasks and has to solve as many as possible in three hours :D

I'm getting the computer club from my school to go. It depends on what the principal says now, but I should be at the one in Houston.

That is awesome! Keep in mind: I recall it were 4 teams per school max and per team max 3 students.
Currently it looks as if i'm the only one of my school XD

The person running the comp club will set up the other teams. I told him the 4 teams with 3 people rule. I'm on one the advanced team they'll be sending

Post by: Sorunome on January 09, 2013, 07:51:34 pm
Oh, that's nice. I'll probably not do the advanced one as I lack self-confidence :P

and btw, max one pc per team and no smart phones :P

Yeah I saw that. Are we allowed to bring any computer we want and what restrictions are there on what can be on the comp or that we can use?

As far as I know we can bring our own pcs........IDK about oses, but as python and java are interpreted it doesn't matter there, the more problemetic part is C/C++/C#

They specify windows for what it has to compile on. They say it has to compile to a DOS executable or something like that.
I was more wondering if skeleton files would be bad or not.
