Not even English text, but a program that can think and develope on it's own to suit it's own needs (whatever they may be).

Something like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include "kitchen.h"
int main()
{
	needCookingProgram(CookingProgram.cpp);
}

If this could make a cooking program in C++, which the program could see by the extension, that would be nice

.

I'm not looking so much for ideas for programs, as i am for the programs themselves.

Update:
Even if there was a very simplistic demo of what a program could do... I'm willing to extend the Contest to a small demo/example of what a more complex program would be able to accomplish. The most creative entry, in this case, will most likely win.

A nice big handshake if you can find my house.

I'd say a program that rephrases existing essays. You know...swap out some words, re-arrange the wording....allows for something to literally be at the last minute

def Wake():
    if time == 06:00:
        person.poke(me,hard)
        if me != "awake":
            winsound("alarm.mp3":
        else:
            drive(me,work)
            while me is at work:
                play = open("music.mp3",'r')
                run(play)
            if time == 17:00:
                drive(me,home)
Wake()

There we go, run's my life, apart from sleep etc, but that will come

hehe

What I usually do is find something twice as long as I need, and use Word's AutoSummarize feature to cut it down - it's unrecognisable.

Question: How do you win a simple contest?

Answer: Well, i do know one thing for sure. If you don't submit anything, you can't win...

I guess nobody really gave a shit about the contest, either that or it was too vague. Oh well, seems like it was a waste of time. Maybe somebody else can try and make a better contest that people might be interested in...
