this contest will be pretty hard to judge who is the winner. I mean, just look. you have no restrictions on the type of program being made. if someone puts on here a super-awesome calculator, how will we judge if it is better or not than all the other programs? all the other programs don't do intense quantum calculations and were never meant, so you can't really grade the calculator on its ability to do calculations because the other programs don't stand a chance in that category, and in the same sense, nor a character's ability to do backflips on a screen. that's why in the olympics, they have different sports, and they determine who is the best at the sport. It's like have a long jumper go first, then a javelin thrower, then a shot putter. who is better here? we don't have a reasonable scale to decide which is which.
