An idea to make QtCreator more fun ^^

Some notable ones,

• Potty Mouth (5 points)
  Use 5 different curse words in a file. Wash that mouth out with soap!

• Lonely (5 points)
  Code on a Friday or Saturday night. Coding? Tonight? Ouch.

• Save A Tree (5 points)
  Print source code. My boss told me to. I swear!

• Complex (10 points)
  Have 50 projects in a solution. That's kinda scary.

The idea sounds like fun and a bit weird at the same time :)

And you should obviously get a Devnet badge for these as well!

Sounds like fun. Why don't you try to make a plugin out if it?

[sierdzio]

Will we get a free commercial license for unlocking many achievements, though? xD

[andre]

Ask Digia! :-)

Decent change is earns you interesting job offers though...

What you could get is a free LGPL version ;-)

[sierdzio]

Just joking, I don't need commercial, all my private projects are FOSS. And my company does buy from Digia, so no problem there.

I don't know about achievements in IDEs... somehow it seems to be a strange idea to me. But definitely, we would not know the effects until we tried how it works out, so I am not - by any means - voting against it :)

No need to vote against or for it: Qt Creator is plugin based, so this should be doable without actually changing Creator itself.

Inspired with your thread I had some "ideas":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/18365/ ;).
