With the new year approaching, a new opportunity awaits - from January 1st, program52 will start posting a different coding challenge every week
The challenges aim to be both fun and educational, primarily aimed at students/beginner/intermediate devs (though those with more experience should hopefully find the challenges engaging too) and will focus on a wide-range of topics including:
- science
- language
- maths
- security
- encryption
- encoding
- hashing
- graphics
- audio
- video
- games
- digital forensics
- geography
- astronomy
- pop culture ...and much more!
It is possible to both play for fun, or, if you want, to check your progress on the global, national or even private leaderboards that you can create for your friends, school, workplace etc
Since there is a challenge every week, people will be playing from all timezones, then anyone who completes the challenge within the first 3 days (72 hours) will be awarded the maximum points of *5000 *- for each subsequent day, the number of points will decrease by 500, stopping at a lower limit of 2500 - meaning that whenever you complete the challenge, you can still move up the leaderboard
Answers will simply be data - strings, numbers, multimedia (images/sound/video) etc, so the challenges can be completed in any programming language that you run locally
You will also be able to submit your syntax-highlighted solution for others to look at in 100s of different programming languages, or a custom language of your choice if your language isn't listed
If you are interested in signing up, we'd love to see you there - creating a community of worldwide developers looking to improve their skills, while having fun doing so!
