Official OCUK programming project

[Rich43]

I think we should all gather in this thread, think of something cool/fun to code and use all our OCUK programming power to code it

I think it would be pretty cool.. what you guys think?

Maybe to start it off.. OCUK themed game? feel free to add more ideas

If want to do a project..
a) post your interested, including any one else reading this thread.
b) decide on language (feel free to argue!)
c) decide on any other technicality's (File Formats, database's etc)
d) feel free to suggest your own project

Sounds doomed to failure.

Why's that?

 

[Rich43]

Well I will let this thread run its course and see what people say

Spec-o-matic

put in budget. makes a spec might get rid of some of the threads from GH

I really have no idea what you are on about.

 

[Rich43]

Ahh that would have to be web based.. maybe PHP/Python/Ruby with a database backend. Perhaps people could submit specs for a price range.. i.e. 200-250, 250-300

I say if want to do a project..

d) feel free to suggest your own project

I'll put that in the main post.

Okay then, What programming language would be best? PHP/Ruby/Java/Python/etc ?

You all can choose based on your experience and pick the most popular.

I was thinking that they could upload a screenshot, Write details about the spec, why its good etc...

I guess we could parse the HTML of ocuk's site which downloads the products (Could break if staff makes changes to site) or ask ocuk staff nicly for a simple XML api which does a query and lists all the products from their database in a XML format.

Also, some sort of human moderation system could remove old out of date specs as hardware advances
