I'll put my thinking cap on, just thought it might be a good idea, especially when introducing new libraries etc.
The first one wants to be pretty simple and fun to do, so that as many people as possible can join in. There's always more than one way of doing things and so I thought it would be interesting to see what other people come up with. In my book, if it works then its right. But of course some solutions are far more elegant than others. Regards, RandomCoder.

I wasn't thinking of a winner being nominated, it's just for fun!
Of course I'm sure there will be plenty of praise for the most ingenuous approach and clever code, maybe even some ![]() Like I said before, if the program achieves the required task then your a winner in your own right. The best idea I've come up with so far is to write a calculator application - no libraries allowed. I know that there's an example scientific calculator on the B4PPC website (http://www.basic4ppc.com/Downloads.html) and installed with BPPC in the samples folder. But this is quite a neat little problem with probably many different solutions. Here's the sort of lines I was thinking along... 1st requirement - basic mathematics - "+" "-" "*" "/"2nd requirement - Trig functions -"Sin" "Cos" "Tan" (inverse ones too if you want)3rd requirement - Conversions - "Degrees to fahrenheit" "miles to kilometers" (and all the rest )4th requirement ......Please suggest some more idea's and will opt for the most popular. What say we leave it till Friday to come up with ideas and choose one then over Saturday/Sunday we can all define the requirements ready to set sail on Monday. PS. what chance do we stand if Erel also fancies giving it a go ![]() Regards, RandomCoder.

I'd like to set something that should have levels of difficulty for everyone.
There's quite a few new members joined lately (I myself only joined in May) and I'd like them to feel that they can have a go along with some of the older members. I also thought that it would be a great idea to promote new libraries. After this first task and if it proves popular then I thought we might use the HTTP library or whichever library the other members would prefer to use. There's some real potential to gain experience from other peoples attempts at programming the same task. I'm glad that there has been some interest already in the idea ![]() Regards, RandomCoder.
