Because of this, the contest isn't evaluated by a machine. It will be evaluated by people, so this one have to deal with this issue. > Honestly, i don't understand how someone could hope garner an > objective comparison of any two platforms by simply comparing a 30hr > project across different implementations. if you have a better idea how to do this in a realisable and feasible way, you may contact Prof. Lutz Prechelt and suggest it.
