We provide the participants with link that has different levels or circles. Their task is to use their hacking skills to go on to the innermost circle or reach the highest level.
6.MALLIKA See, the event is about COMPUTERS, right? And not just programming? I'm sure the technical aspect will be perfect, or rather beyond perfect but let's also make sure people have as much fun as possible during the fest and remember it for being an all-round thing. EVENT 1: Old PC Games Competition
We should have an event with the old computer games that everybody used to play but has now forgotten more or less Dave, Road Rash, Aladdin, Mario, Sonic, Pac-man, DOOM etc. We'll have to arrange a way to make them work on these systems, that's an issue that will require a little preparation. EVENT 2: Logic Related Event Like I mentioned in the email I sent a few weeks back regarding the quiz, we should do something with logic. Maybe instead of having a separate section in Comp Whiz, we can make an event out of it. We can include puzzles to test analytical skills, SAT and GRE ke reasoning questions, questions from IQ tests, questions on Venn Diagrams, Probability and basically just test people's basic sense of logic.
A possible inclusion can be from subjects pertaining to logic design and digital electronics - KMaps, truth tables of functions etc. Teams of 2-3 I guess. EVENT 3: REAL WORLD PROBLEMS Tanvi and I were brainstorming and we came up with this idea of 'Real-world' problems which represent problems in Programming. Like our DS paper, which had this ridiculously long question about a parking lot wherein we had to implement the question using stacks and queues. In 12th, for our CBSE board project we had to generate an Amusement park database using file handling in C++.
So we can give them real life situations which they have to implement using a particular programming language. But they should be easy enough for people to be able to do and for people to want to compete against each other. EVENT 4: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Can we mimick a game show type ka thing? Something like maybe Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Have that KBC fastest finger first type thing for the first round [have a buzzer for each contestant]. The first 3 who answer the question can move on to the 'Hot Seat' for the second round. IECSE MANIPAL | ideas@iecsemanipal.com
