It's not QB in particular, but QB could be used to make an entry:

Yeah. Like line numbered programs weren't mature content.

Quote:I will allow the following in your program:
* Graphics
* Sound and music
* User-defined characters
* Colour
Is that... PLAY, and SOUND?...
It's got cool entries though:

Gee, aren't you guys tired of games, games, games.....
Now all we needed was a challenge for writing games.
Can't you guys come up with real, everyday problems needing to be solved?

I have some hard everyday problems to solve for you...
It's because I joined 2 times in an International Programming Competition, but I never got to the first four (I was fifth last year). Those problems they ask you there are QUITE hard..., although they're still easily put in a context of a story
Shall I post one?

Yeah, Neo, go ahead and post one. I just hope they're straightforward problems, not trickily worded problems.

Ok, it's in a new topic called
"NIO 2003 Exercise 3".

Exercise 3 is an interesting problem, but perhaps too time consuming for me at this time. Thanks.

Too bad. It is possible to solve the exercise in 1 and a half hour or so. (I had to do it in 1.25 hour).
I hope you can take a look at it when you have some spare time.
Btw Moneo, you can perhaps use the theories explained in the exercise to solve your problem:

That's why I chose this exercise first

Neo, thanks for thinking of me and my screenshot problem. You're right, Excercise 3 might give way to a solution. I'll need some time.
Thanks again.
