Submit Idea - Vote on Ideas
The winners of the first Free Raspberry Pi Giveaway are known. I am giving away two Raspberry Pi computers each month to anybody with a good idea. If you write down your idea or code and post it to Github and the voting page, you might win. The two ideas with the most votes at the end of the month get a free Raspberry Pi, Model B, including an SD card, USB cable and free shipping anywhere in the world. The first month was a great success, with almost a hundred ideas posted, over 5000 votes cast and about 2000 people voting on ideas.

Here is the entry:
I have always had the joy of low-level programming. Assembly is always my choice as long as I have the time and resources to get stuff done. However, I have noticed that almost all newbie programmers try to not only avoid assembly, but also not want to understand how things work at a low level in the computer (e.g. not wanting to know how a variable is declared and initialized and/or not wanting to know how things are stored from and loaded into memory). So, I thought maybe an assembly-like programming language will help those new to the world of language understand more about the internal functionality of a computer. I have just recently finished the entire project and am now implementing a GUI-based debugger for the particular language I have designed. The project itself consists of two main parts; a parser and a runner. The parser's main job is to take your assembly code, weed out all unneeded elements (comments, tags, labels, branching headers, etc.) and replace current line instructions with better ones (essentially instructions that take less clock cycles so the program would eventually run faster).
Like I mentioned above, the entire project is complete, and can be cloned from https://github.com/rpi-asm
I should be able to modify the README.md files within a matter of days.
Fadi will get a Free Raspberry Pi, Model B including a 4 GB Samsung SD Card, a clear case from One Nine Design and a USB cable. It will be shipped free to him.
