This challenge introduces a new method of judging, in that there are no pre-defined functionality requirements. Nope. This challenge is going to show just what the developer is made of in their ingenuity with online text game programming. A list of potential functions and possible usage has been supplied - but the overall library is up to you. Now's the time to work up that string library for ansi, mxp, msp, etc that you've been meaning to get around to but just havn't yet.

The only restriction is a minimum of 5 string related functions.

Best of luck to all whom enter!

This is a quick reminder that the challenge ends in 3 days.

The Code Challenge:
Create a string manipulation library or series of functions which provides online text game programmers with quick method of string manipulation; such as color converting (RGB), advanced string handling (chop, regex, string comparison, global substitutions, token return manipulation, etc). The limits are your imagination.

Next challenge will be published after July 1st, 2006.

Prizes for this challenge include:
* 1 Year Basic MU* Hosting Service  [ MultiUser RolePlay Entertainment ]
* $50.00 Gift Certificate For Amazon.com [ MudMagic.Com ]
*  Free copy of zMUD [ Zugg Software ]
*  Free copy of MUSHclient. [ Gammon Software Solutions ]

And several text games that are offering in-game perks to all contestants.
