Ryzom Coding CONTEST : Develop the best free software application!

[Yumeroh]

Looking for some extra cash? Need an idea for a school project? Bored sitting in the house doing nothing? Fed up of flipping burgers? Here's a great opportunity to exercise your development skills, win a first prize of EUR 3 000 (USD 4 200), have fun and develop something useful that the Ryzom community will thank you for.

The team behind the popular Ryzom MMORPG have created a new API for the Ryzom Universe. This web-based API provides players and developers with a wealth of information from the Ryzom world in real time, creating endless possibilities for new tools, widgets and websites!

In conjunction with the release of the Ryzom API, the Ryzom Team is proud to announce the Ryzom Coding Contest to encourage players and developers to collaborate and create fantastic new free software applications for Ryzom players! For example, you can develop an inventory management system, or a brokerage where players can find crafters who can make the items they are looking for, or even more ideas.

More information about the contest.

Prizes:
First prize: EUR 3 000 (USD 4 200)
Second prize: EUR 1 000 (USD 1 400)
Third prize: EUR 500 (USD 700)

Thank you for providing this amazing opportunity to the players, once more a whole new level of interaction has been reached. I'm already looking forward to try out all the features, many hugs to the people behind the API, well done!

Whooa, nice idea. I gotta say.
Although I don´t know the farthest thing about programming I´m looking forward to all the good it might bring.
As long as it doesn´t get out of hand and someday these things are "needed" to play. Y´know what I mean.

I have a few things I will try to work on with the API.
The data in the signatures isn't acurate!

[seawe]

Thanks! Very cool indeed Now i have something nifty I can work into the rebirth of the worldofryzom.com site.

maybe add the time-left-to-sell for items on the market to the hover-text?

[memiki]

I think this is a great idea.
I know there are many that have got some good ideas and this will be a way to help Ryzom.

Wow this is awesome. I was just thinking today how nice it would be to make an app for finding crafters. Can't wait to start coding and see what others come up with!
