contest (re)birth

[Cableguy]

Hi Erel,

We, as a community, have come a long way since b4ppc forum started on a GeoCoder (if I'm not mistaken) lended server...
Then we got our own forum server... Yes, I dare to say "we", as this is one of this community particularities... It makes it feel like a part of the product and not just another customer trying to get customer service...
Back then we started a trend... The contest, won by Klaus in its first edition with the Icon Editor...
Then with the upcoming of b4a we just forgot about all those contests...
The recent release of b4a v3.80 it came to me, why not bring back the contest?

A few rules should apply, like being open-source and code-shared, and a prize (of sort) should be given to the winner.

So, what about it, guys, Erel?

I was thinking the same.
As long as it isnt something too hard

I remember the sudoku solver one, Sounds like it could be fun.

Actually there was a Yahoo group before the first forum: http://web.archive.org/web/20060113083358/http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/basic4ppc/ (created by Tony Kingsmill).

I'm posting quizzes from time to time: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=quiz&page=1&prefix=10

I will try to think of a new contest (no promises...)

I tried to organize something twice, but the first one didn't even get responses. the 2nd attempt is still open but...

I contacted some people to sponsor the compo with some hardware but even the marketing nerds don't even seem to get it
that there is a large amount of people they can reach with it. (40K+ B4A users?)

Will give it another try this week
