[nylug-talk] ICFP Programming contest

[Spencer Ogden]

Anyone working on the ICFP contest this year? I always take a look at 
it, but have never worked up a solution. Kind of interesting this year:

For those who don't know, the ICFP is an annual contest with few rules. 
Each year is a little different, but always creative. Teams are 
unlimited, but you only have until Sunday to work.

Just curious if anyone out there is looking at it. The task is to create 
an interpreter for a machine language which is described and run a 
supplied program to get something they call "publications". I have an 
interpreter written, which is mostly verified as working (haven't tested 
many of the error conditions). Right now it is running, but its hard to 
tell if it is doing anything...
