I like the previous comments but... I can't do code obfuscation. I think it is ver cool that people can do that with code.
I would rather see a problem being solved. There are so many ways to solve the same problem so it very interesting to see how different people come up with it.
I think the
Contest should be a problem solving program. No real ideas for that right now.(ex. a Perl Script for a web browser but for an intranet to keep track of all network printers and Queue or set up a perl script to make a history of the nodes on Perl monks so that the numbers can be recycled but yet keep the information for later use and leave like home nodes and such.)
How to submit I would set it up so a new link in the right area to submit/edit your answer. The nodes should be hidden until the contest end date. At which time all users can't change their answers. Then everyone can vote for like 2 days on the answers and they get like one vote for it.
Scores would be tabulated by the number of votes one gets.
Who will score them? All monks (of good standing)
UPDATE: I really like
Rydor's idea about scripts playing games against each other in this
node.
