ContestsContest theme: Compression (and Decompression) program Directions: Create a program which compresses and decompresses some data using any algorithm. The program must handle all kinds of data. At least 2 files will be tested on it: a text file, and a program file. The same files will be used to test each program. Any program which hides data in a secret place is disqualified. See the contest forum in this site's forums for more details and to sign up. Criteria: Elegance -- how well written your code is Efficiency -- how fast and lean your code is Flexibility -- how many types of data your code can compress; and from how many sources Compression -- how much your program compresses the file Specialized Criteria: Time limit: All entries must be in by July 15, 2003. (A few hours afterwards is probably ok, too... but don't count on it.) Previous contests: Here's the FAQ. Of course, you probably want to look at some top secret stuff instead, eh? Try here. ----- |
