[ANN]Coding Contest

[Björnke von Gierke]

Hi all

The Chatrev coding contest (CCC) is now underway!

ChatRev is a chat written entirely in RunRev. Information about it can 
be found here: http://chatrev.bjoernke.com

There are 3 Challenges. You can of course participate in all 
challenges, if you like, but I suggest that you concentrate on one 
challenge, and make it work as good as you can. It's also important to 
know that even an unfinished Product may win a prize, so if you get the 
feeling you can't finish, send it in anyway, maybe you're lucky!

please send questions to my e-Mail: bvg AT mac DOT com
It would also be nice to have an e-Mail about your participation, but 
this is not mandatory.

Simple:
Make something nifty within 10 lines of code.
The goal of this challenge is to let coders of every experience 
participate, with a real chance to win.
It will last 1 week until next monday.
There are 2 example stacks, to show how you could do it at:

Advanced:
This challenge wants you to code a RoboWar clone.
It's a game where people can program "bots", that battle each other.
You got 4 weeks to make your game, if you want to participate in this 
challenge.
