MATLAB Programming Contest Blog

May 12th, 2007

It has been a busy morning in the contest queue! There was clearly a game strategy in play by many contestants with submissions jumping into the queue shortly before the 8 am deadline. It was Nick Howe’s submission JuChimera which won, closely followed by entries by Marko, Sy and the cyclist. Congratulations to Nick on your second win this contest!

I would like to recommend Alan Chalker’s Guided Tour as a must-read. He pointed it out in a comment to Matt’s previous blog so I checked it out. Guided tour of dreamland is a great contribution to the contest and is also a great example of community spirit. If you are watching this contest but wondering about how this really works, reading other people’s entries is the way to go and I’d make this the starting place! Thanks, Alan, for pulling this together and sharing it. It really is a great job.

The big Sunday Push is coming up next. It runs from midnight tonight through midnight Sunday so keep on working on your game strategy!

See you online!
