TI-Concours - last days to subscribe !
« on: February 26, 2013, 06:05:40 am »
Hello world !

I create this new topic, since the other one is now old and thus nobody sees it.  :P

Also, the TI-Concours 2013 is about to start soon ! If you haven't subscribed yet, and if you program in one of these languages :

TI-Basic (z80)
Axe
Asm (z80)
TI-Basic (68k)
Lua Nspire

Do not hesitate to register ! You can enter in as many categories as you want.  ;D
Even if you already entered last year or two years ago, you still have to register again.

For those who don't know what the TI-Concours is, it is an international programming contest for TI calculators programmers, who was created in 2011. At the beginning, you have two round (one in Asm and Lua) with an imposed subject that will be send to you. You have to submit your program in one week (two in asm and Lua). You will then have a score out of 200 points. Then, the bests programmers will be able to enter the final. They will then have a three hour programming period (18th or 19th of May) and an oral of 20 minutes long (with Skype, or Google Hangout, of stuff like that) with one of the judges, in the first part of May.

The calendar is available here. ;)

I hope many will enter ! :D

Noël.

EDIT : there will be many Nspires to win, like last year. ;)

Hehe, I am getting anxious! I have a vacation from the 9th to the 17th, so hopefully I can get much done for TI-BASIC (68K and z80).

Lol at the calendar. The second Axe period is exactly the week before the beginning of my exams XD
I am not very disappointed though if there are only Nspires to win (already have a CX CAS).
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Question: Is the oral part of the contest open to public? Although it's not directly in front of a class but rather hidden behind a computer screen, I know that most people in the TI community tend to be particularly introverted and if the oral part isn't privately held this might discourage many people from participating :P

There's also the issue with parents who might be scared of seeing them talk to "strangers" on the Internets. D:

I believe you will be given what type of program to create at the start of each section.

DJ_O : that's a good question, actually I didn't plan to open them to public. I will rather be private.

There's a very small chance I participate so, even if I already registered... I'm also disappointed : why always Nspires ?

There was not conformation email... I see you're participating in AXE...

* pimathbrainiac sees more competition and tries to find shelter from the awesomeness...

It is true that it is disappoiting to win a calc you already have. But that is not worse than giving a TI 76.fr, as the zContest ;)

Actually I cannot really decide on this point... :( If it was only my responsibility, I would have given TI-84 PCSE. ;)
By the way, first round starting on monday !  (ti-basic z80 only).
