| Another Begginner Contest (ALL Welcome for this One) there are only a few rules, everything else is left to your interupretation. 1. C++ (strings instead of char's etc. etc.) 2. Use standard code and good indention. Thats it, not to hard. CONTEST #1 i want you to create a program that allows, only people with a right password to access data that already stored in the program. you should have 3 strings, that already have data declared within them, such as Code: string string1 = "important information1"; string string2 = "important information2"; string string3 = "important information3"; so that noone, looking at source or any other format should know what is contained in the strings. Code: string string1 = "asdgfafgafhae5ry4yaert"; string string2 = "d098g690a9d0f8g89aks"; string string3 = "asd08ga7890s08a894km"; which would be some kind of complex encryption, now you must recieve a password from the user to unlock this data, and the password should not be retrieveable simply by looking at the source, there should be a password for each individual string and based on the password entered one of the strings should be displayed in a meaningful form. CONTEST #2 for those not so confident the following is a contest for you the same rules as above apply. parse a c++ source file, and turn it into a color coded html file, with the following these words should be colored blue : for, while, if, else, int, char, string, #include, return the following should be colored red : any words withing "" (quotes) ie being a string that it that the only ones you need to color. an example of the output of this program is as follows Code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for(int i = 0; i != 256; i++)
{
cout << char(i) << endl;
}
cout << "Done!" << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}
CONTEST #3 last but not least, write a program capable of decrypting the following Code: 1KOPOBYLe\`R !"#1JMMK=SE]SVG Code: cboardprogramming Code: Introduction will attempt that but id love to see entries from salem, qazah, and prelude. Last edited by ILoveVectors; 08-09-2005 at 09:43 AM. |

| How are we supposed to know if it's correct without a hex dump? We can't tell what half of the encrypted text is. And why put a silly C++ limitation on the contests? You just lost a contestant because of it.

After all your decryption algo could take on any number of forms? It could be xor encryption, RSA, random junk inserts...yada yada yada. How does knowing the key and the original word help? Hmmm? I could be wrong. | |

| Yeah, what treenef said. And remove the "ALL welcome for this one" from the title since it's not true :P

| its for anyone, you just may not choose to do it, anyways the problem is for oyu to figure out how it was encrypted if i give you anything else it defeats the purpose of the contest. anyways give up on this it my contest, if you cant do it you cant do it. im sorry that you suck at c++, i did not choose which language you should learn, if you are not interrested move on. if only one person in the world new c++, this contest would still onyl be offered in c++. if there somethign you dont liek about this contest, that hurt your feeling so much, post your own contest and allow and disallow what you want, your nto the one that has to take the time out of your busy day to go over the entry's.

| Be advised that ILoveVectors is now banned. I wouldn't expect too many posts from him. edit: And don't ask why he's banned - I don't think it's something we should be discussing publically just yet. |
