Microsoft Australia Devsta Challenge 2008
September 30th, 2008Microsoft Australia have a programming contest out right now – with (at the time of writing) 173 hours and three minutes remaining. There’s a nice bevy of prizes.
The challenge is to make something modern out of something retro – or even implement something retro using new tech.
My first thought was a modern .NET Commodore 64 emulator – but then I came across Sharp-64 – written two years ago by a fellow Australian. I pondered briefly whether a C64 emulator Vista sidebar gadget would be feasible but I’ve gone off this train of thought now …
Anyone got an idea for me?? 
Time is ticking down … and like with most great software, the coding likely isn’t the significant part of the challenge, it’s the big idea!
