Cincom Smalltalk won the last shootout sponsored in Europe (by a Java magazine, no less) - here's another chance to show people how cool Smalltalk is. C't magazine is sponsoring a contest (the site is in German) - the goal: develop an application that reads in screens from the classic "Asteroids" game (that will come in an emulator) and responds with appropriate key presses to play the game. The prizes are pretty cool:

1. Full-HD-Beamer Panasonic PT-AE2000 and PlayStation 3
2. 30" Monitor Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP
3. A 1000 Euro laptop

The contest ends on June 30th - they are providing an example C++ program to show you what they expect.
