7. ASSEMBLY WIZARD
We want to create the first Online Judge for assembly ever built. Students in Romanian universities learn assembly, but there is no collection of assembly problems on the internet, or a way for them to check their problems automatically.
We can change that! Gruntmaster 6000 already offers the infrastructure of an online judge. Adding new languages is easy. We just have to add assembly as a possible language, and add assembly-specific problems. Then all university assembly teachers and students will use Gruntmaster 6000 to learn assembly more effectively and even run assembly contests!
