Journal TrixX's Journal: Eiffel Struggle results 1
Last year, I submitted an entry to the International Eiffel Programming Contest 2005 (also known as Eiffel Struggle from previous editions). My submission was EWS, the graphics/windowing system/toolkit library we are using with anthony mainly for freemoo (which didn't make it for the struggle date).
The results were available quite recently. I finished in the seventh place (of ten entries), with a silver award, which made me quite happy based on my expectations and the knowledge about other serious contenders. I knew I was weak in some of the aspects judged (internal documentation, and portability)
The organization provided detailed results privately to each of the contestants. These are mine (with score, maximum score, and description for the value)
- Installation documentation: 6/10 (Useful documentation)
- Usage documentation: 7/10 (Good and complete documentation)
- Construction documentation: 3/10 (There are some notes)
- Innovation and community value (in Eiffel): 7/10 (This entry shows great promise. Don't abandon it!)
- Innovation and community value (in OSS): 6/10 (Interesting)
- Portability among Eiffel compilers: 4/10 (one compiler)
- Portability among platforms: 4/10 (two OSs)
- How easy is it to install the application or library?: 8/10 (Followed conventional standards like
- How well is the entry constructed? 9/10
- Source code readability: 6/7 (Easily understandable)
- Source code formatting: 3/3 (Conventions (Mostly) followed.)
- Use of the Principles of Design by Contract: 8/10 (A shining example of the power of DbC.)
- Ease of use: 8/10 (The classes provided are well-designed. And very powerful!)
- How much effort seems to have been put into it? 7/10 (We can see that you spend quite some time.)
I am specially proud of the score of 9 in construction
Great... (Score:1)
