Site with a list of coding competitions

benny! · September 15, 2006

Hi.

Ok. First I have to admit that I didnt take part in any of the competitions
held here in this cool forum. Anyway, I am a big fan of such competition.

Even when I have no time to participate - I like the results of them a lot.

So, now my question is - if there is a site in the net that shows an updated
list of current coding competitions (doesnt matter which language / field ).

What I am looking for is a list like :

Competition name, Rules (URL), Homepage, Languages (JavaScript, assembly,
basic et cetera), Deadline, Subject (Gfx, Size, Theme...), Prizes (Money, Just4Fun,
Little gifts).

If anyone of you know such a site which stores informations about different
competition - or you know some other fun competitions like the one in this forum -
please post them.

Thanks in advance,
benny!

That is a very interesting question. The nearest I can think is the party list at pouet. I know, I'm sorry, it's not a very helpful answer but I don't know of anyone who compiles a comp list.

There will be a new one starting here soon (within the next couple of weeks to month) and I believe there will be one starting over at Intro inferno later on in the year. Apart from that, there are the obvious party comps, all of which can be found at pouet.

This is something I'd be interested in too as I'd like to have a go at some comps on other forums, being the guy who stumps up the dosh for this place kind of excludes me from the comps we run here and I'd like to have a go myself sometimes

Thanks for answering, Shockwave.

Indeed, pouet/ojuice are the page to go concernig parties and their compos.

But a source of all such little tiny competitions held by various boards and other pages would be really cool imho.
Hmm ... maybe I should start coding such a page

That would be cool. I'd even host it for you if you like

Your best bet I recon for finding out about different organized scene parties is at the free hosting for the demoscene place "Undergrund.net"
You'll be able see various links to sites about alot of demo orientated stuff.

Well, whenever you feel like compiling a list like that let me know and I'll sort it out for you.

Best to drop me a pm.

@shockwave:

I am more thinking about creating a site where ppl can add competitions by themselves. Hmm ... maybe I start coding
one. I will inform you if I come up with something serious.

This isnt the normal kind of coding competition but check out the previous winners including the 72 byte winner from 2004 ... maybe someone fom here would like to have a go.

I think you're in with a good chance of winning actually Sek

Shockwave you are very kind. I really hope so but I can't believe its possible! Fingers crossed (until Xmas).

I tried to keep my fingers crossed for you but it stopped me typing so I'll just wish you well instead!
