Well most of you have seen the banner contest in web design and the screenshots section in mIRC. I thought it would be an idea to promote this section by coming up with some senerio or problem each and having you develop a solution for this problem. I want to know a few things before we start this tho.
1. What do you think of the idea?
2. Will you participate?
3. Should we vote on a winner and what should we do for the winner?
4. What kind of senerios/problems do you think we should do?
5. Do you have an idea for the first project?
I want to add that this will not be a "who can make the best client contest" I will try to range things how using certain controls but still allow customization. I want to do some work with ado, xml, registry, hooking & subclassing, socket api, and mdi applications.

well I will create a subdirectory on my site for posting the source codes. I will be judging on how well you do for the amount of experience you have ( as well as other things ) so dont feel like AG will smoke ya hes gonna get it the worst lol. An consider most of you will have more time to work on these projects than AG and I because we both work full time jobs and I am at school 4 times a week an some Saturdays.

yea ill participate  though i dont like debugging other peoples code, i think it would be a more sencible thing for a common project to be set such as developing a common goal, then everyone working on it to come to find which one people think is the best, lol, is it going to be based on how good the coding is or how good the final product is? i like to code from scratch myself that way i know everything that went into it and i understand it better |

ive just thought how about this for an idea... we are set a common goal such as to produce something like say a word processor, and each week we are given a set thing to add or include to make it better such as working with mdi, menus, toolbars, etc |

well its tewls competition, its up to him, but me and lazer agree the projects should be started from scratch rather then debugging other peoples work |

You have to bear in mind *everyone* should he able to participate. You cant have a hooking project as i certainly dont know how, and i dont think lazer, king or alex do either.
But it sounds like a good idea, i think things like function rewrites may be a good idea.

i think we should all work on one kind of program, and work through it step by step in our own way PS : i do know how to hook stuff using API, just takes me a while to remember how to , lol |
