And the top 4 all used C++. Hooray for egalitarianism :P Ryan.
I think there is a reason why high performance systems use C++ and why brainy boffins use it as well. It is definitely suited for their needs. It is not a dent in egalitarianism IMO regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Working for myself, from home doing pretty much the same kind of code day in, day out - I'm finding that I'm becoming a little stale. Do you know of any programming competitions going on, that might allow me to stretch my programming muscles a little?

What we need is a list of monthly topics to code against with criteria (speed, elegance etc). I'm more than happy to set this up if I can get enough input from you guys. cheers, Chris Maunder

I am using OpenCV but haven't had enough time to concentrate on that part. Carl need Vision sensory data though, in version 2 I planning/hoping for him to recognize faces and simple objects like a box and a circle.

Well, if you were a full time student you could enter the Imagine Cup. Matt Newman If you chose to continue this discussion, I am fully prepared to make you my bitch. I invite you to ask around, and you'll find out that I'm quite capable of doing so - John Simmons on Trolls

Do you have the specs for that? I tried implementing that tonight but the beer was room temperature, red, and came in a corked bottle. What am I doing wrong here? :confused: cheers, Chris Maunder
