In the fourth Golden Lunch Bucket Contest, Barbara Parkman entered for the first time and won the Grand Prize. This moves the US from last to second place in the World Cup.

Barbara’s entry added a Movement interface and implemented a movement class for each of the characters. In this way, each character had his/her own movement.
Contest #5: Our next contest (#5) is a good one for both Flash and Flex (FD) developers. Contestants first download the Dragon Factory files, and then create draggable objects that can be used to create class diagrams for any of the GoF class diagrams. That means you’ll need the proper set of relationship lines (e.g., ones for subclassing, aggregates, associations, etc.) and either input text fields for the different names of the design participants or make a huge number of graphic names. All elements must extend or implement the existing classes/interfaces in the ‘Dragon Factory’ files. All entries are due, October 20, 2009. This one is both fun and useful. (I’ll be putting up a sample of what the final product looks like to encourage entries.)

Congrats Barbara!
@ Bill: Would it be possible for you to also upload the first 3 ( or just the winner ) entries? I’m quite sure that many people would be interested in studying what the winners came up with.
In case this has already been done then my apologies.
With kind regards,
Barni
Hi Barni,
There were no others who solved it. I’ll make Barbara’s solution available; however, I want to check with her first.
However, Contest #5 ought to be a lot easier; so have a go at it. Also, Chandima and I thank you for your comments helping out those who have asked questions.
I expect you will have an entry next time. No excuses about not having enough time!
Kindest regards,
Bill
Good to hear I didn’t piss off anyone. :) I have a “bad habit” of getting my nose into people’s work without having proper permission, and I also can’t really control myself when seeing a “damsel in distress”.
I’ll do my best to come up with something for Contest #5, but I do have to tell you that October is a busy month for me ( my birthday, most of my friends birthdays + a few more “minor things” ).
Cheers and thanks,
Barni
Hi Bill and Barni,
Wow, I am speechless (very unusual for me)! Yes, please make my solution available. Thanks!
