Site News

This week will be a little interrupted with the celebrations that are Canada Day and July 4th. In order to distract you all a little from our sneaking-off-and-having-a-break we've thrown together a quick competition where the prizes are mind-blowing and the skill test Herculean. OK, maybe the prizes aren't that good but there is fame and the admiration of your peers...

We want you to rewrite the 1971 game 'Star Trek'.

Yes, it's text based, yes it's simple, and yes it's older than most of you but we want to see what modern technology can do to to the ageless classic. Do it in Silverlight, make it a Vista Gadget, or go crazy with a WPF extravaganza in F#. We don't care. Just make it work and make it fun.

See details here.
