Official OCUK programming project

[Shoseki]

On my site at flashygraphics.co.uk I put up all the projects that I do, theres only a couple there and they are quite old now (and mostly java/graphics related).

I will probably put some kind of link at some point to the open source software I am developing at the university but unless the ocuk project is to do with the production of heritage buildings for realtime 3d environments in c++, you might not find it that useful

I say we should make it open source though whatever we do, and if in C++, use the GNU autotools system so we can compile onto any system.

EDIT : And did I mention I was interested? Don't mind, though obv graphics programming is my area of interest

You could have a program where you put your name in and the name of a girl you fancy and it shows you a love match rating.

We will program this in Cobol.Net.

The spec-o-matic would be pretty lol given that you'd have to find some way of quantifying the performance of a component such that you can do a direct comparison between it and every other component

It's hard enough with things like CPU clock speed but how are you going to balance say a video card with a slower clock speed and more video RAM, or more system RAM vs. faster RAM, or god knows how many other tricky things?

writing up the framework for it would be no where near as difficult. Create a system for matching rules against devices, then when you pair the devices you'd run the rules against them. The rules would be defined by the person inputting the data (the admin,) along with the "rules" input by the user. Then the system simply has to collect each result and tally for the end user to see their shiny new spec.

It's not dissimilar from what we do with postal services and their route planners for logistics. Post codes, British roads (width/height/weight restrictions) and traffic hot spots make this out to be what seems a painful headache, but once you break it down, it's not that complex at all.
