Lua code samples needed for MIT project on automated programming, etc. $10 Amazon card out of it

[YourStalker]

Hi, I know this subforum is only really for Garry's Mod related stuff but this is where most of the good Lua programmers are.

Anyways, some guys at MIT are working on a project to create tools related to automated bug-fixing, automated refactoring, etc. They are in need of Lua code submissions and are offering a $10 Amazon card for each submission. [url=http://jkoppel.scripts.mit.edu/2016_study/]Here[/url] is the form which has more details.

This is quoted from the above linked page:
[quote]Welcome to the MIT Program Transformation Study

Research labs like ours are cooking up tools that can do all kinds of magic with programs: automated bug fixing, automated whole-program refactoring and migration, superoptimization, and more.
We are building tools that will make it easier than ever to do build these kinds of things on an industrial scale. A key technology behind all of these applications is program transformations. We have built the world's first multi-language program transformation system, which can potentially make any of these applications 10x more valuable. Not only can we do it, but we think we can produce human-quality code in the process. But what would it mean for it to produce human quality code? We need a point of comparison. And that's why we need you.

We'd like you to perform some of the same transformations that our system will make. Later on, we'll have human judges compare the quality.

So, can our system change these programs as well as you? That is to say, can you program better than a computer?

Accept the consent form below to participate. We have code in each of [b]C, Java, JavaScript, Lua, and Python[/b]. You'll earn an Amazon Gift card of $10 for each contribution, and you can contribute in each language at most once, for a total of up to $50.[/quote]
Thanks!

This seems like a really cool project

How come you don't use code samples from Github, Maven Central and other such websites though? Copyright/licensing issues?

I should have probably went in more detail. What happens is they send you snippets of code that you have to make changes to. Overall it takes about 30-45 minutes. Also as much as I wish I did, I don't go to MIT. I was just talking to one of the project researchers and he said they needed Lua submissions the most.

Thanks, Did one of the C samples since all the Lua ones were taken already.

[Klaes4Zaugen]

Everything have been taken :/

[YourStalker]

They opened more submissions for every language. Anybody who couldn't try before can try now.

[find me]

"Unable to claim a lua sample, likely because they've all been taken"
