Top Secret Task

[Deleted User] · December 2013

Welcome agents. Your mission if you choose to accept it is to write a program on the subject of spying. It can be ANYTHING. The judges will be helpful volunteers from the Codea community. Rules You say? There are no rules!
Well apart from stealing ideas but then again, this is a spying program task so I suppose it could be tolerated...
Post your programs in this discussion. If you would like to judge then post your name saying that you would like to be a judge!
Remember, it's dangerous to go alone, take this.

Prynok · December 2013

No rules? Then I choose my hacker program. Its on Codea Community.

stevon8ter · December 2013

@TheRogueBatcher, interesting idea, the prizes, I guess, are top secret fame and intel? xp

bow serious, how much time do we get to finish this?

[Deleted User] · December 2013

You get a 168 hours (a week)

[Deleted User] · December 2013

The competition only starts when I have at least 3 judges

stevon8ter · December 2013

I guess judges can't enter the competition? xd well i could be a judge if you can't find 3 other volunteers

Briarfox · December 2013

This will make good use of my inspector app. It'll sandbox any project and let you look at all read/right calls and http requests. Make sure no one is grabbing info that they shouldnt be.

SkyTheCoder · December 2013

Too lazy to make a new project and too busy working on my Cook-Off project...

I do have a REALLY good encryption program though, I'll put it on CC, it's called AlphaCoSi.

Warning: WIP but works pretty good

Jmv38 · December 2013

@TheRogueBatcher i wont compete but watch the posts. So if you need a judge, i can do it.

CodeaNoob · December 2013

I'll see if I can fit in the time to enter

Luatee · December 2013

@TheRogueBatcher I won't be joining the competition because I'm busy working on my builder game, but I will if you need it judge as I'm assuming that won't take too long.

[Deleted User] · December 2013

@Stevon8ter @Jmv38 @Luatee
I Would love it if you would be judges!
If you cant for some reason though then there's no pressure
Respond if you will do it or not

Jmv38 · December 2013

Ok for me but there is a condition: your games will have to run on ipad 1... Confirm if this is an acceptable condition or not before puting me in the jury.

Prynok · December 2013

@Jmv38 Curious, What can the Ipad 1 not support?

Jmv38 · December 2013

Memory is quite limited. Games will a lot of big images or poor memory cleanup will crash codea.

stevon8ter · December 2013

@TheRogueBatcher it's ok for me, i don't have alot of time to make a program for this myself + don't really have an idea, so you could put me in the jury

Luatee · January 2014

@TheRogueBatcher I'm in.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

EXCELENT! JMV I ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN!

CodeaNoob · January 2014

How is this scored?

spacemonkey · January 2014

I never have time to code, but an idea that's been bouncing around in my head on this type of game (and feel free to steal it), is some kind of stealth mission type game where you have missions like, sneak in and kill someone, or sneak in and steal something, or sneak in and plant a bug etc.

Then the player gets missions from some communal anonymous message board. Then plot wise, try and make it really ambiguous as to whether you are working for the good guys or the bad guys (or both). And eventually allow player submitted missions, so you could outsource the actual hard work to other players and take a cut etc.

Maybe even get to the point where some missions are actually hunting down other players/finding evidence of their attacks, stuff like that...

[Deleted User] · January 2014

@spacemonkey Good Idea!
@CodeaNoob It doesn't really have a proper scoring system. It's just we each give a nomination for the project we thought were the best. Due to we are only 3 judges, we will be giving 2 nominations.

Jmv38 · January 2014

@TheRogueBatcher could you write who will eventually be the judges? It is not clear to me. Then we (the judges) should have a discussion on the criteria for ranking the submitted code, and publish these criteria. I think we should rank all submissions, or at least the 3 or 5 top ones, not only choose the "best" one. This would be more rewarding for each participant.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

The Judges So Far Are :
@Jmv38,
@Luatee,
@Stevon8ter

[Deleted User] · January 2014

Well I don't think anybody is actually participating in the competition

Luatee · January 2014

You haven't kickstarted the event! No electric start on these things

CodeaNoob · January 2014

I've already finished my entry! I've just been waiting for an update

[Deleted User] · January 2014

"EXCELENT! JMV I ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN!"
My WAAAAY earlier post

[Deleted User] · January 2014

@CodeaNoob, if you've finished your entry then why haven't you posted it here yet?

Andrew_Stacey · January 2014

Surely everyone's working on their projects in secret. Wasn't that the point?!

[Deleted User] · January 2014

Not really... For example, CodeaNoob finished his but hasn't posted it.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

Guys don't forget that TOMMOROW the competition ends! Don't forget to post your programs here!

CodeaNoob · January 2014

Just wondering, what time zone is the competition based in?

Jmv38 · January 2014

With one competitor and 3 judges, the decision is going to be easy! Lol!

Prynok · January 2014

I'm still in!

Luatee · January 2014

@Jmv38 2 now;) I think we should take a count of who is in before judging begins!

SkyTheCoder · January 2014

Can I enter AlphaCoSi?

I didn't hear back on whether I could use an older project.

Jmv38 · January 2014

I guess it is ok, as long as you keep this info secret. Just change the name, so everyone will be fooled.

SkyTheCoder · January 2014

@Jmv38 Oh hey look, I worked hard and made a new project for this contest that's definitely not a copy of my other project that's just renamed. Search for SiCoAlpha on CC.

CodeaNoob · January 2014

My entry is on my thread "50 Line Challenge" and its called "Sniper Rifle Scope Simulator" (please dont bump the thread unless you have an entry)

JakAttak · January 2014

Didn't the contest end three days ago?

CodeaNoob · January 2014

I don't know the time zone the competition, but the second last day was yesterday, and @Sky entered 20 minutes before me

Jmv38 · January 2014

Hello competitors! I recall you that the project has to run on ipad1, and i cant have CC work properly on ipad1. Can you post a link to you code in CC (in this case i can manage to get it), or post it in the forum? Thanks.

CodeaNoob · January 2014

Here it is!

function setup()
    Clip = 4
    ClipMax = 4
    Extra = 16
    supportedOrientations(LANDSCAPE_ANY)
    cameraSource(CAMERA_BACK)
    parameter.integer("Zoom",1,5)
    print("Sniper Rifle Scope\n"..Clip.." / "..Extra)
    end
    function draw()
        sprite(CAMERA,WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,WIDTH*Zoom,HEIGHT*Zoom)
        fill(255, 255, 255, 0)
        stroke(0, 0, 0, 255)
        strokeWidth(10)
        ellipse(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,WIDTH,HEIGHT)
        ellipse(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,7)
        strokeWidth(1.5)
        line(10,HEIGHT/2,WIDTH-10,HEIGHT/2)
        line(WIDTH/2,10,WIDTH/2,HEIGHT-10)
        line(100,HEIGHT/2-10,100,HEIGHT/2+10)
        line(WIDTH-100,HEIGHT/2-10,WIDTH-100,HEIGHT/2+10)

        line(WIDTH/2-10,300,WIDTH/2+10,300)
        line(WIDTH/2-10,HEIGHT-300,WIDTH/2+10,HEIGHT-300)
        line(300,HEIGHT/2-10,300,HEIGHT/2+10)
        line(WIDTH-300,HEIGHT/2-10,WIDTH-300,HEIGHT/2+10)
        fill(255, 255, 255, 255)
        fontSize(20)
        text("Zoom: \n    "..Zoom,60,60)
        if Clip <= 0 then
        Clip = 4
        Extra = Extra - ClipMax
        end
        if Extra < 2 then
        fill(255, 0, 0, 255)
        text("LOW AMMO",WIDTH/2,500)
        end
        end
        function touched(touch)
        if touch.state == ENDED then
        Clip = Clip - 1
        print(Clip.." / "..Extra)
        sound(SOUND_HIT, 32786)
        end
        if Extra < 0 then
        Clip = 4
        Extra = 16
        end
        end

Jmv38 · January 2014

Camera functionality is not available on this device.

..... :-w

SkyTheCoder · January 2014

Here mine is: http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/CC/alpha/index.php?v=1243

If @CodeaNoob's project doesn't support iPad 1, do I win? :P

Luatee · January 2014

@SkyTheCoder haha no I'll judge @CodeaNoob's )

Luatee · January 2014

@CodeaNoob I'm pressing fire but no bullets are coming out of my iPad!

CodeaNoob · January 2014

Fix: Take Drill, Drill hole in top right of iPad, press "Fire"

Luatee · January 2014
