Uniten MULTIPROG Competition 2007
After thee MMU Programming Competition, I felt a bit down trodden as I couldn’t leave a mark in it. Not soon after the competition, I was informed of the Uniten MULTIPROG Competition 2007. By the way, MULTIPROG stand for Multimedia and Programming. The competition has two components, both a multimedia and a programming element which you can take part in. Naturally I decided for the programming one.
The competition allowed 2 teams, made of 2 people each, from a University. My partner once again for this round was Jason Khong, and the other team was the same previous team.
This was also my first time to Uniten, and I was surprised that they actually have a hotel inside the campus.
We were restricted to using C, and Microsoft Visual C++ to code. Both of which I am not so familiar with, especially the latter.
There were two sets of questions, each taking a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete. The first set consisted of 10 questions each weighing the same, and the second set of 3 weighing differently. Your team was scored on how many, and how well you answered the questions.
I got a reputable 3rd place in the competition, which I don’t think is so bad as I’m not familiar with the tools.
The prizes:
- 1000 MYR
- 2 days 1 night stay at Langkawi
Once again, I’m quite ashamed that I couldn’t get first, though I’m satisfied with at least getting something.
This puts Monash University has been in the top 3 in past 4 local programming competitions. Claiming 1st twice, and 3rd twice.
Have to bring that record up!
