    I was interested in entering the "The Code Project Random Programming Competition, Summer 2008" but, I must admit, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the prizes. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to sound petty, but I think something like a book voucher would be a better choice.

      The competition isn't about getting the prize. It's about having fun. I deliberately wanted members to concentrate on that aspect of the comp this time, not the prize.

      cheers, Chris Maunder

        Fair enough, but a good book voucher helps focus the mind. :)

          If I am correct, most of the prizes are donated that are given away. As far as the competition, as Chris said, it is meant to be fun. I personally hate Star Trek or any other TV series that has star in the name for that matter. However, I will be entering this competition after my game is complete because I feel it is a fun challenge.

So far, the Universe is winning. Visit my homepage Oracle Studios Discounted or Free Software for Students: DreamSpark - downloads.channel8.msdn.com MSDN Academic Alliance - www.msdnaa.com
