• Solutions should be written in CodeWarrior Pro 3
• Solutions can be written in Pascal, C, C++ or assembly, for Mac OS only. No Java. Basically, anything CodeWarrior can compile in a default install that can link directly to our C test code
• You can use any pre-existing published library or existing source that is freely and publicly available and that can be included on the MacHack CD or that is part of the standard CodeWarrior install.
• Full test framework and data will be provided, you should fill in the blank template solution, check that it works and then submit it.
• Different, secred data will be used to test correctness.
• Solutions must be submitted as source and project, including any libraries or public source code used.
• Each problem will be evalutated on a pass/fail basis - it either works perfectly, or you dont get any points.
• Speed will not be a consideration, however all solutions must complete within 120 seconds on the test Power Mac or will be deemed to have failed.
• Teams are on their honor to solve the problems themselves, but are also free to ask questions about how to do something, on the Hack contest model.
• Access to internet, reference material, source code, libraries, etc. will be available.
