What is this about?

You have found a new powerfull onlineresource which will not only give you many interesting insights in high end coding with AHK but also thrilling fun in competeing with others.

For now there are three categories to compete in: ucStyle, xFast-Exec, and 3k-ShowOff. Read more about these Categories

Why doing this?

The idea behind this is that many AutoHotkey script writers are out there. Many newcomers are using this language to automate specific Windows actions.

But AutoHotkey is a very powerfull language. It can be used for far more than just to click buttons or type abbrevations. This site is intended to show advanced techniques how powerfull the scripting language actually is. By having challenges on AutoHotkey specific topics an effective usage is asked for.

All attempted scripts will be presented in a showroom sorted by challenge category. Registered users will have the chance to leave comments on these. So the used techniques may be discussed.

All events will be periodically and some may be paused between periods. ucStyle and xFast-Exec will be judged internally. 3k-ShowOff will be judged by audience therefor its cycle will be longer. The winners will get a ranking in the hall of fame which links to their achievements. Some challenges are marked with Attempt-ERR applies. To find out, if Attempt-ERR applies please read the challenge`s descriptive text.

ERR :: External Resources Rule

When a Challenge is marked as Attempt-ERR applies, it means that scripts using external helper files or resources such as #includes, StdLibCalls, MCode enhancements, or external DLLs (eg non standard Windows DLLs which are not available from Windows 2000 on) will be disqualified.

Sure thing. Just sign up, choose your challenge and start right away!

Enjoy the nuts!
