John Fraser Computer Contest Club

Hey everyone!

Hope you had a great summer, but its that time of the year: school's started again, and jfccc is going full force! Last year we had no honourable mentions in Waterloo's CCC, but our lone team still went on to ECOO with renewed dedication, placing 2nd in peel, and 10th in provincials! (just barely beaten by our woodlands rivals who placed 8th, but we'll get them this year >:). 

We are looking for avid members willing to continue our legacy, or members who just want to come and improve their programming skills. Our first meeting will take place this Wednesday (Sept. 14) in room 183.

Hope to see you there!

Rui (Suushi) and I posted a few things in the Turing section this weekend. Since most students that signed up are from grade 10 it would be more beneficial to them to see sample codes earlier as I believe grade 10s almost always do an ISU (independent study unit) in which you learn and create you own game. Grades 11s don't always do that.

The forums are a bit off at the  moment because as you can see the uploads for code are direct from RTF so it looks awkward and is hard to download. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about HTML but I'll look into site and ask Rui to fix it up. 

Some sites are able to use the syntax 

[code]

[/code]

Which dramatically reduces the font of the code for copy and pasting code.

Please prepare your teams for the dwite competition. We will hosting a mock competition this month.

I will be speaking to our teacher sponsor tomorrow to check up on when our next meeting date will be.

Thank you to all those that attended the meeting today in room 183. That room will be one of the two rooms that we will be using. Please notify your friends if they signed up but didn't sign up to this site. A lot of people spoke to me after the meeting cause they forgot, so if you could just link them to the sign up page that'd be great!

A reminder to all those that signed up please validate your email address and edit your profile to enter your student ID number.

The reasons you need to sign up are:

- your studnet number is necessary so that your activity points will be enetered

- your full name and birthday is required so the teacher sponsor can validate you are from JFSS therefore you can participate in the dwite.ca competitions

- it makes organizing and sending emails out to you guys much easier

- its easier for you to check for updates

So please sign up, update your profile and validate your email at your earliest convenience! 

This site hasn't been in use since 2009-2010 when computer science students needed help for the grade 11 computer science exam. I will tidy up the site over the long weekend (on Sunday since I have work on the weekends).

If you want to check back on what the CCC club has to offer, by October 13, 2010 I'll complete

- uploads to help grade 10 and grade 11 computer science classes with their ISU (collision detection, color detection, shooting, trig shotting)

- sample codes for those that want to learn but do not have computer science

- contest questions to give you a taste of what the dwite competition will look like

Meanwhile the site may look rather plain. I apologize for that! Uploads will be coming shortly.

Congrats! Thanks to all your participation, this site was rated in the Top 1% of all sites created this week.

We will continue to develop and improve this website, as well as promote the club. Expect some more updates within the next few weeks, as well as possibly a way to upload your solutions to contest preparation questions, to check it against various test cases to see if it works properly. If bandwidth allows, we may add games as well, so be sure to check in regularly!

Congratulations, You have finally completed the computer science exam! We hope that you all did really well. If you did all the review listed on the site, you should have been fine! 

There is, however, 2 more days of computer science left. We will be uploading test cases for the final few string assigments for you to ensure your program is functional.

Reminder that the dwite contest is today starting at 3:15 PM

Well, due to the urgent demand of Exam Preparation Questions, we came up with a few interesting ones that might be on the exam. These questions can also be practiced on paper, for best retention, and to more accurately simulate the exam environment. They can be accessed here.

Good luck to all!

Ah, the dreaded exam week. Here are a few relatively easy questions to prepare for the exams, and possibly for the upcoming DWITE contest this Wednesday.

More site updates to come, and hopefully a way of submitting solutions to programming questions.

And just in time for exam week too! This is the official launch of the JF Computer Contest Club website. Here members can access practice contest questions updated weekly, view contest calendar, and lots more. This club is free for anyone participate in as a guest, however join to become a member anyways! As a member, you can keep track of your progress, and as well moderators can get to know you better. Also, you will be able to participate in club contests, to see how you rank among your fellow club members, and win some mini prizes!
