I wouldn’t think someone would argue with that. OK then, it is my opinion. I wonder how many people share it, I would say a lot, but it’s indeed my gut feel.Micromegas wrote:OK…waetherman wrote:Such rules are actually ...

I would have shared it if at least two of the following three conditions were met:(1) if this were a prestigious award, (2) if it cost me a big effort, and (3) if I couldn't trust the judge. For me, neither is true in this case: It's just a harmless event with the goal to inspire us to do something we enjoy anyway, and I've seen the judge around enough to trust that he isn't going to disqualify someone for spurious motives.waetherman wrote:I wonder how many people share it ...

I mean, for example, I wanted to try and make as good enry as Captain's, but I'm not going to lose my time if I can get disqualified for some absurd reason like "entry too simple" or something like that.
While there are prizes, that's not the point of the hackathon, it's just an incentive. The point is to get people writing and get them thinking in different perspectives. It also is a great opportunity for newbies to learn and get motivated!
@nnnik, I see what you mean, but I'm posting this anyway for reference.
Re: AHKathon! [AHK Hackathon] 12/17
- I find it a bit curious that we're supposed to post scripts to this thread, because if we post early (a good idea), other people could just use our code (a bad idea). Also near the deadline, could the thread conceivably get overloaded, and, won't it be hard to separate regular comments from entries?
- Also another issue, when I've seen click-related posts in Ask For Help, I'm thinking, should I help with this, at least during the AHKathon week.
- Personally I'm not that bothered by either issue, but some people might really want to win this!

You are right, I had not thought of this what if someone borrows from my script and use it against me. How can I beat perfection.
Please excuse my spelling I am dyslexic.

Re: AHKathon! [AHK Hackathon] 12/17
I don't see a problem with someone taking someone elses idea to expand on, but copy and pasting would be against the rules I posted. I did add that posts that contain an entry should specify such at the top of the post. Concerning Ask For Help.. I don't know? I suppose that would be user prerogative.
Capn Odin, you have a point there![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Also note that it'll take me a while to actually score them, considering I won't be doing so until after the deadline, and it'll be around the holidays. I also will be out of state til mid January, not sure when I'm leaving though. It shouldn't actually take me until then to finish, but I would encourage people to check other entries to make sure nothing was directly stolen and notify me if something was, to make sure I catch it.

Wouldn't it make more sense to post them in the Scripts and Functions forum, rather than here in the "Offtopic" forum?jeeswg wrote:- I find it a bit curious that we're supposed to post scripts to this thread

Not well enough! I wasn’t trolling him, though I’ll admit I have a light attitude that maybe is trolling for some (especially one particular, very serious nation, that I will not mention, as some people here are very sensitive about racismnnnik wrote:He's trolling you - I can tell because I know himMicromegas wrote:OK, it seems it's time for a serious discussion.

And if I’m trolling, then wth is Captain doing! And that brings me to the point of copying scripts of others, as I already admitted that I got heavily inspired by his work of art, so that would disqualify me.
Also, as µMegas said, We’re not at the Olympics; the prizes are modest, so I wouldn’t expect some shenanigans, where participants create complex schemes in order to screw others up.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
Still, if your script is mostly someone else’s script and nothing else, it’s probably too much of a similarity: let’s say you use `loop` in your script, well, that’s like 50% of Captain’s script, that’s just too much!

Still, he won't give you points for the mspaint part if you don't have entry on top of it. :poke:
