I'm thinking about writing an application in which case it consists of an
textbox (multiline of course, as well as the CtrlEnter fix) as well as an
execute button at the bottom of the page...
Now the text box will take instructions in ANY format, hell you can even
copy and paste from microsoft word (we'll create a rich text box so you can
use pretty colors and such... especially BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS, to emphize
certain parts of the task you want to complete.)
Also, there is no language defined for it. Just write it in exactly what
you want to happen, or the general idea of what you want to happen even. It
doesn't matter.
Then after you type your specs in and are satisfied, you hit the execute
button. In which case I spin off 10-20 threads, with no necessary
syncronization, and all with thread priority at high to eat up every CPU
cycle you have.
Then these threads will run for a specified amount of time, depending on how
long your spec document is (character count * color useage penalty *
boldprint penalty * capital letter penalty* random number between 1 and
1,000,000)
Then after all the threads have executed (mainly just running long loops to
eat up MORE cpu time) a message will popup saying
"Have I achived the desired results?" with a yes no type dialog.
If yes.. well... I'll be amazed if that happens, but the program will exit.
(shhh)
If no, then it will select all the text within the spec text box, (so if you
hit a key you delete all of it, and disable CtrlZ by catching it in the
Message Loop) and have to retype your specs...
Repeat...
Only time it will break is on a program exit (which will be disabled of
course) until they type "Why the f*** can't you make my specs work?" or
something of the sort and hit execute.
In which case the program will popup a message saying
"welcome to the life of a software engineer."
And maybe a touch of "reboot fever" just for good fun.
What do you guys think? Should I write it?
