CHAPTER 30: *Jenn & Nick* Allison had just left and Jenn took a deep breath before climbing into her vehicle and driving to pick up Nick. She couldn’t believe he’d asked her out and she was sort of nervous about the date. She hadn’t really dressed up, just a white long sleeved shirt with some spaced out green and blue stripes and green buttons up near the top, a pair of jeans, and some bla…

Tickets to this year’s BlizzCon — the yearly mecca for fans of Blizzard’s incredibly successful franchises — have now gone on sale for the (very pricey) sum of $100 a piece. They can be ordered from the official site.

BlizzCon 2008 will taking place in Anaheim California at the Anaheim Convention Center on October 10 and 11. Along with developer panels and hands-on time with Blizzard games (Diablo III! StarCraft II!) there will also be three tournaments to catch: the global finals for the 2008 Warcraft III and World of Warcraft arena tournaments and the third BlizzCon StarCraft Invitational.

If you don’t live anywhere near California or are just too busy to attend, but still want to catch all the proceedings live, then you’re sort of in luck, as Blizzard has announced that there will be pay per view coverage of the event, but only through DirectTV. If DirectTV does happen to be your satellite provider, and you live in the US, then you’ll be able to buy the package for $39.95, which is how much a ticket for a normally priced convention would cost.

We’ve also gotten wind of a few items that’ll be showing up in the convention goodie bags, which will include a code for a WoW polar bear mount, and either a 16″ inflatable divine shield ball or a 48” inflatable Frostmourne.

So who’s planning on attending BlizzCon this year? What are you most looking forward to at the con?

I may know next to nothing about the intricacies of programming, but I do know a minimalist 2D version of Portal when I see it. The above images are examples from the third round problem in Google’s Code Jam, an ongoing competition that gives professional and student programmers the chance to score some cash and a trip to Google Headquarters if they place in the top 100.

Rather than trying to escape the empty halls of Aperture Science, this problem has players guiding a portal gun equipped red dot through a maze to reach a cake (that isn’t a lie) in as few steps as possible. Here’s a snippet from the description:

For this problem you find yourself in a R by C grid. Additionally there is a delicious cake somewhere else in the grid. You’re very hungry and wish to arrive at the cake with as few moves as possible. You can move north, south, east or west to an empty cell. Additionally, you’ve the capability to create portals on walls.

Given the maze, your initial position, and the cake’s position, you want to find the minimum number of moves needed to reach the cake if it is possible. Remember that shooting the portal gun does not count as a move.

There’s also some coding mumbo-jumbo that doesn’t make all that much sense to me, but if you can understand it feel free to download the two mazes and give them a try.

[Thanks, Michael]
