NANY 2010 - Update

<< < (2/2)

Perry Mowbray:
The NANY Challenge is an annual Challenge at DonationCoder where coders of all levels are challenged to pledge a New Application for the New Year and release it on January 1, 2010.

The NANY 2010 Challenge is fast approaching the climax of the Event -- this is definitely the exciting bit of the Event when we see the NANY Entries unveiled! So far we've had:

* 27 Pledges from our brave coders
* 13 Teasers to whet our appetites
* 8 Entries for us to try from the NANY Board
This is the last call to all programmers within earshot to drop by the forum and pledge to participate in the event.  Remember, there are no winners, but everyone gets a prize -- a very handsome and unique DonationCoder mug commemorating the event.

Even if you're not a coder, you may find something fun to check out from the early NANY releases and teasers.  Stop by and request some features or make some suggestions to the participating coders -- they need your feedback!

NANY 2010 Prizes
The NANY 2010 Store has opened with a great selection of items available for the Entrants in this year's event. Full details in NANY 2010 - Prizes


Twigatelle Update
Here's the next update on Twiggles progress with his NANY 2010 entry: Twigatelle. Thanks to Head in the Clouds for allowing us this view into the whole NANY process!


Teasers / Entry Focus
Crush MCP
The Master Control Program is a small tool running in the background that monitors all tasks and programs. After making a snapshot of all running processes, new ones will be tracked in a deletion list. This will allow you to see and get protected if a virus or other unknown programs are automatically starting in the background without your permission to raise your security while working.

LittleRunner 1.0
A little application that records a runners schedule.
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Records routes and descriptions
* Records runs and times, along with comments
* Shows individual run speeds and overall average
* Allows both DD/MM/YY and MM/DD/YY date formatting
* Allows specification of distance units in either miles or kilometres
* CSV export
* (Very) basic printing
Twigatelle 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
Twigatelle is a simple game developed in Java inspired by any number of those pachinko-type games where little thingies bounce around hitting other thingies in a slightly hypnotic way. The name is a contraction of ""Twiggles"" and ""bagatelle""
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Bouncy balls.
* Things that bouncy balls hit.
Reimbursement Tracker 0.3.0
Keep track of the money others owe you! This is a tool created to help a user manage his/her reimbursable expenses and designed to create an attractive, easy to read, and easy for the boss to understand list.  It has the ability to print, or to print a professional-looking receipt to a thermal printer (receipt printer).
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Keep track of date, location, description, and price of each expense.
* Negative prices (e.g. returns or rebates) supported.
* Print to thermal printer!  (Note:  only the Custom Neo's is officially supported right now -- as it's the only printer I own to test on!  However, I am working on a plugin-like system to allow other printers with different commands to be easily added.  Most printers share similar serial commands, so this should not be a big problem.)
Mini NANY Submissions
Mini NANYs are submissions that don't fit under the same stringent rules that a normal NANY does and can include scripts and other submissions that don't really fit into NANY proper. Now just about anyone can enter a NANY!!

* Gobbledegook: Mix up your sentences and keep readability.
* Gamers Alarm Clock: GAC is a simple alarm clock, albeit with a slight twist.
* Miranda Alias pack for FARR: Let's you control Miranda with FARR.

Teasers / Entry Focus
SubDiv 0.0
SubDiv was built to organize folders that are constantly being filled with new content, such as a 'Downloads' folder.  When you are continually throwing files from the Internet into a folder on your computer, that folder becomes very disorganized (at least for me).  SubDiv will take those files and put them into folders based on the day they were created.

Features

* Portable
Anuran 1.0.12
Anuran is rotating, automatic-prompting personal text log.  The original idea came from a request from doctorfrog on this thread.
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Completely configurable.
* AnuVu log viewer included.
* Log files are standard text files.  No proprietary formats.
Piggy Banks 1.0.1
Piggy Banks makes it easy for you to keep track of 'fund' accounts where a little money is put away each day.  For example, your family might decide that every day $1 will be put aside to help pay for a new board game.  Piggy Banks will make it easy to see how much money is saved up in the board game fund at any time.
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Track as many funds as you would like.
* Real-time updating of funds and projected completion dates as you adjust the data.
* Export to CSV option.
* Icon turns from a silver medal to a gold medal when your fund completes.  Wooo.
FARRSpell
This will be a plugin for Find and Run Robot to help people who quickly need to spell a word or look up synonyms.
NANY 2010 - Update

Features

* Selectable Dictionary
Mini NANY Submissions
Mini NANYs are submissions that don't fit under the same stringent rules that a normal NANY does and can include scripts and other submissions that don't really fit into NANY proper. Now just about anyone can enter a NANY!!

* DisablePortableAppSplashScreen: Disables the splash screen of Portable Apps

Perry Mowbray:
T'was the night before New Year, when all through the forum
we were all waiting patiently with a modicum of decorum.
There were lots of Pledges, and suggestions too
and the number of Teasers just grew and grew.

The Coders were all busy, they were finishing their Apps
burning the midnight oil and probably near to collapse,
but we're all here to celebrate the start of a New Year
with the wonderful efforts of our NANY Volunteers.

So here's to all our members, who were involved in the Event
who coded and tested, and volunteered 101 percent,
who suggested and commented and gave their requests
and made this year's NANY Event another success!

...with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore:

The NANY Challenge is an annual Challenge at DonationCoder where coders of all levels are challenged to pledge a New Application for the New Year and release it on January 1, 2010: and we're nearly there!! Tomorrow is the big day when the full list of Successful Entries will be released!

As the poem says, it's the night before New Year when all the NANY 2010 Challenge Entrants will be submitting their Entries! It's a very busy and exciting time on the NANY Boards and you can literally watch as the Teasers are converted into Releases.

* 27 Pledges from our brave coders
* 7 Teasers yet to be converted to a Release
* 15 Entries loaded onto the NANY Board

Twigatelle Update
Twiggles has just about completed his NANY 2010 entry: Twigatelle. Thanks to Head in the Clouds for allowing us this view into the whole NANY process!
