As announced on the blog today, for each person completing one of the Advent of Code challenges using the Ada programming language, AdaCore will donate $10 to the Ada Developers Academy, up to a total of $5,000. And for those willing to go an extra mile, AdaCore will donate $20 if the solution is implemented in SPARK with at least proof of absence of run-time errors (a.k.a. Silver level).
To submit your solutions, reply to this post with a line of the following format:
[<pseudonym>][<day>][<Ada or SPARK>]<link to solution source code>
There is a somewhat similar contest at https://protohackers.com.
There is a new problem every 2-3 weeks and they are all network related, as in implement a server, and protohacker will run a test suite against it. The problems are as with Advent of Code - easier at the beginning
I’d like to keep discussion about each day’s puzzle grouped together, so please post links to solutions on the day’s topic, rather than putting them all here. Thanks!
If you can all still post your submissions for the AdaCore charity event here, just the one line with format described above. Otherwise it will be a nightmare for me to track all the submissions in all the discussions. Thanks
I have created a private leaderboard in AoC. Feel free to join it, code is 1708445-6a8f7730
I have no idea how it works, but sounds fun to track progress of participants (not for competition). @Fabien.C, probably a leaderboard in AoC would be also a good tool to track Ada/SPARK submissions, to account for donations to the Ada Developers Academy.
