is the contest over?
No, 2 weeks left. Plenty of time left.
I couldn't input any code after entering the title. The text zone just remained grayed out
This was a problem on the first day of the competition for some users including myself but it was fixed. Try clearing your cache or opening the page using a different browser. If that doesn't work let me know.
I don't know why? I am addicted to this contest!!!!. Really amazed by beauty of MATLAB code!
Yeah, I spent a lot of time here too. I learned a lot from the contest!
Hans, I liked your Mosaic and Tulip. I'm looking forward to seeing another one from you! Maybe an image of a toaster! 🙂
This contest is so cool, also because we can learn some new Matlab code tricks and grow plenty of new ideas by the way :D
Thanks! We are glad you enjoy the contest and learn from it.
May be more fan to restrict the code length up to 2^8=256 symbols.
Hi,
Nice contest ! How many entries can one make ? Thank you.
Thanks. You can make as many entries as you want.
How do we get on the "Leaderboard", is the code shorter the better?
Hi. You are on the leaderboard. Once the contest starts, the ranking will be based on the votes you get on all of your entries.
Apologies for those running into a small glitch where the editor doesn't load consistently when trying to create a new entry. We have resolved the issue.
By the look of how many amazing entries we've seen so far, the issue wasn't causing too much of an impact.
Where should the entries be created?
There are several places you can create a new entry. You will find the 'New entry' button on the contest landing page. On the Gallery page, there is also a 'New Entry' button in the upper right corner.
