Re: Re (tilly) 2: TPR(0,1) Golf Tournament Begins!

Golf is an individual sport: players hit the balls themselves, and others can't help the player with getting the ball into the hole.

But... others CAN watch the player, imitate him, and learn from his moves. And I think we should encourage that.

I also like to see other people use my ideas, and I don't care much for winning at all. Although I'm not a beginner in Perl, Perl Golf is quite new to me, and I have much to learn.

I would like to post my entry over here :(
(My current score is 72 strokes)

I would still prefer seeing the submissions real-time, and let the one who's smart enough to combine techniques being the "winner". Working together to get the ultimate golf is imho better. When the contest is over, of course I will read the golfs, but I don't think I'll enjoy it as much as when I read it while golfing on my own hole. It's like waiting for the other players to complete all 18 holes each before you can watch and it's your turn. A discussion of solutions is more effective when done while improvements can still be made. `Lbh ebgngrq guvf grkg naq abj lbh pna ernq vg. Fb jung? :) -- Whreq` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
