What is WPC?

It’s a small coding challenge that you have to solve for 1 week from Friday 2nd of June to Thursday 8th of June!.

Who can participate?

What are the rules?

The code must run on AgonLight. There are no restriction how you will code your solution: Assembler, Forth, C, BBC Basic, Turbo Pascal for CP/M any tool is possible. If your tool need special installation you should provide brief note how to do it so we can verify your solution.
There is no restriction to re-use code found on internet and adopt it for AgonLight2 as far the code is working and doing the job!
The solutions should be sent to info at olimex dot com. You will receive notification email that the solution is received.

On next Friday 9th of June, we will push all solutions received to a special GitHub repository and announce the winner on Monday 12th of June, who will receive a €50 voucher to use in the Olimex web shop. The jury will consist of Tsvetan Usunov and Bernardo Kastrup.
