For anyone interested in putting their ruby skills to the test, check  
out the Ruby Hangman Tournament. [http://slagyr.github.com/sparring/](http://slagyr.github.com/sparring/)

We’ve been having a lot of fun with it. It only takes an hour or two  
to code a competitor and you have until the end of September to submit  
the final version.

It’s a great way to practice your coding skills. Enjoy.

Micah

Micah,

I had heard mention of this (on “Ruby 5” I think?), but every time I  
checked [sparring.rubyforge.org](http://sparring.rubyforge.org), I saw no sign of it! Perhaps that page  
could be updated? or at least redirected to the (new?) home of Ruby  
Sparring?

Cheers,

Josh

P.S. This time it’s serious! 😉
