S.N.O.T.Y. Award

Kuro · Posted: 16 Oct 2005 06:04:59 pm Post subject: S.N.O.T.Y. Award

For some reason I got a random thought that Cemetech should host an unofficial "Stupid Novice (n00b) Of The Year" award, from all the n00bs at ticalc. From now till December 16th you may post nominations in this topic and on the 17th I will start the SNOTY elections. Try to restrain yourself, though, this isn't meant to be offensive.

My nomination goes to Peter Cheng. So far this amazing programmer has accomplished the work of art that isCleanup. And who could forget the classic Guess05 a guess the number game that only takes up 4kb.

Wow I just found this. Check out the description for MindReader. So that's a nomination for George Washington email: ihavenothingbettertodo@gmail.com Laughing

Edit: Oh and it looks like Sam Hund found out how type formulas into his calculator. I really need something to do the equivalent of (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1). And somehow this takes 500bytes?

Alls I can say about Mindreader is WOW. That has to be one of the most unilaterally stupid ideas for a program I have ever heard. Not only that, but it's filed as a Flash App?! What is this kid thinking?!

Yes, I find it hard to believe that someone with knowledge of how to make flash applications could write such crap. Confused

It's so sad that someone who knows ASM would make a program that does what can be done by looking at the mem screen.
And Tim Bruhnke

Yes! We would love to see your first progs, which are admittedly horrible... Mad

Actually the first person's program mentioned has great use. In BASIC programing this can allow for better saving of data. Example: In my first BASIC blackjack program I had a save feature. To do that though I need to either keep the save lists in ram or force the user to put them on the calculator when he puts the program on so I can archive and unarchive because if you try to unarchive a list at the beginning of a program and it doesn't exist you will get a problem. I thought it was very usefull. Anyone with me?

I guess, you could also ask why someone would want a program that could unarchive and archive programs, being the memory menu does it.
