Hey Code Jammers, It's the time of year where we're revisiting the rules from 2014 to see what we want to change for 2015. For everyone who participated in Google Code Jam 2014: what would you like to see changed about the rules? Reply back to me, or to this list, or to [email protected], with your ideas. I can't promise anything, but we'd love to hear what you'd like to see.
Some examples of things we're looking at: - The rules right now don't allow Excel because it isn't free; but there are lots of great free alternatives, so we'll likely allow it. - If you use a non-free language in the Qualification Round, I think the rules right now say that you lose your points for that input. But a lot of people who are competing in the Qualification Round are competing for the first time and may not have realized that they've done something wrong, so we'll look at explicitly allowing that and sending them a warning email about future rounds. There are also bigger changes afoot, but I won't spoil the surprise... Cheers! Bartholomew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
