How long until this becomes a reality TV show.

maybe AmericanCoder, CodeSurvivor, CodeWars, or maybe Worlds TopCoder.

Hehe funny. I want to see a reality show called 'Code 911' which would be similar to 'Nanny 911' but a developer would travel the world in search for people with bad coding habits and straighten them out. :)

Other possible game show ideas could be:
- Wheel of Code
- Who Wants To Be A Coder
- The $100,000 Pyramid of Code

:D

Or even "What not to Code"

Or "Orange County Coders"

How about "Ultimate Coder" where there are 2 camps of coders with a coach for each (Gates and Jobs) then at the end Bill and Steve would have a code off in the octagon.. better yet lets make the ring a trapezoid.... that would be sweet

Junkyard Code Wars - two teams face off in a warehouse full of old source code, and then have to make something cool out of it.

C Swap - two companies swap their top programmers. The first week, they need to follow the host company's source indenting style, the second week, they get to enforce their own indenting style.

Code Mythbusters - a couple special fx geeks investigate common myths like "goto is wrong" in order to prove/disprove them.

The Amazing Code Race - 10 teams face off in a race around the world, at each leg of the race they must face specific programming tasks.

Overcodin' - someone sets up their programmer friend, steals the source code to his program, fixes all the coding errors and overclocks their computer.

Desperate Coders - a neighborhood with an abnormally high percentage of code warriors who lock their children in a cell in the basement because they can't hear themselves think otherwise.

The DaVinci Coder - a zealot is proven false by a particularly nifty set of functions, and one patently obvious endless loop statement

One for the chicks: What Not to Code

Sandy, I thought may you and your hubby had moved off to the end-of-the-earth (nice view, but way over rated I think ;-)).

Glad to see you in the New Posts population again.
