Third-party utility competition
Hello everyone.

After an influx of new users (And I hope coders) and a small capital investment from someone, I have decided to hold a competition.


Basically, it's like this. Everyone who wants to participate, donates as much tc as they can spare (any amount is fine), and begins coding...a third-party utility for Toribash. This can be anything.

NOTE: Tell me when you're donating, and when you're participating. You may donate without participating.

For example (What I am working on currently):

http://www.toribash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15253 -- TBMonitor. The logging and services bot for Toribash servers.

And a widget of some sort that shows your current rank, belt, etc easily.

What do I mean by the 'best' one? Well, the most useful. The best thought-out. At the end of the competition, I will make a public poll (or a private if the public one is unfair to you) with all the utilities, and the one with the most votes wins the pot.



Donators so far:

hampa (indirectly so to speak)
Ishi
Slith
Archlurps
SlainVeteran
veb
suomynona


Participants so far:

Jok.
suomynona
SlainVeteran


Pot size: 252,718 toricredits.



The length of the competition is undetermined, and will be determined once we get participants, so we know about how much time everyone needs.


You may participate with as many utilities as you want.

You are allowed to use any programming language you want, however the utility must be third-party. NO Lua scripts.

Note: You may not release the source code during the competition.





If you have any questions about the way to connect to Toribash servers or other such things, feel free to ask me, or hampa, or whoever else knows about it.




Discuss.

Thanks for explaining, but I can't code. Can we just come up with the idea instead?

I assume you could share your idea with a good coder, and if he does it and wins, you could share the winnings.

But entering with just an idea would be useless. Even moreso, because everyone would participate with stuff like "OMG SRV WHR NO N00BS NRY1 GET FR33 CR3DZ!1111!!111"
Well I have a great idea if any one is willing to be the coder and we can split earnings 55 45. I get 45% since I though of the gret Idea, and you get 55% for coding. Believe me. It is a great idea.
