Have you ever been a part of this conversation:
"I feel like entering a programming contest."
"That sounds boring. I feel like drinking!"
"Hey! Let's do both!"
Then you need to enter Crash And Compile, The Programming Contest Drinking Game!
The game goes like this: You register a team of 1 or 2 people. You bring a computer with your dev environment of choice to DefCon. Everyone grabs a drink and a programming problem, and starts coding.
- If your code fails to compile, you take a drink.
- If your code compiles, but fails to run, you take a drink.
- If you code runs but produces the wrong output, you take a drink.
- The first team to successfully complete the problem gets 3 points. Everyone still working drinks.
- The second team to successfully complete the problem gets 2 points. Everyone still working drinks.
- The third team to successfully complete the problem gets 1 point. Everyone still working drinks.
The winner is the team who is the most smashed at the end of the night. We might hand out a few prizes to the nerds who can actually write code too. ;-)
We're looking for about 10 teams of 1 or 2 people. If you think your code looks better when you're drunk, sign up!
We're also looking for two additional teams:
- Team Control Group: If you are (like me) a t-totaler, or somehow got suckered into being the designated driver for the evening, we can still use your help. TCG doesn't actually compete for points (or drinks, obviously), but if any competing team completes a problem before TCG, then everyone still working takes a drink. (That is, if you can program better drunk than TCG can sober, that is deserving of a drink for everyone else.)
- Team Distraction: Do all the nerds' gazes follow you as you walk down the isle in the terminal lab to the green bar printer to pick up the results of your most recent job? Can you make a pocket protector look sexy? Then we invite you to join Team Distraction! TD can have as many entrants as we can squeeze on my lap^W^W^Win the room, so don't be shy.
If you think Crash And Compile is your cup of Long Island Ice Tea, DM me (SmittyHalibut) with the following:
Subject: Crash And Compile team
1: Team Name
2: Entrants names/handles
3: Entrants email addresses (Don't worry, I won't spam you or do anything else nefarious. This will be used ONLY for communication directly related to Crash And Compile at DefCon18.)
More details on the game rules and what you'll need to bring with you will be sent later.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
