I’d like to thank you all ExpressionFlow readers for our first amazing year. You may have received a large number of season’s greeting cards, but I bet none of them can even closely compete with ours. To thank you for our first year, we’ve developed you a LabVIEW block diagram arcade game for LabVIEW 8.5!

To play the game, use the left and right arrow keys and try to catch all the LabVIEW block diagram compoents with your LabVIEW object. Don’t forget to post your high scores to this thread.

I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008!

EDIT: Version 1.1 released with a bug fix.

National Instruments just announced that they’ve inducted three new members Yair Neeman, Pavan Bathla and, well, me to the LabVIEW Champions program. Wow, I’m so excited! Yair and Pavan, you really earned this nomination! I wish I could share a bottle of champaign with you guys.

I need to thank you all for this nomination. I would not have made it this far without all those inspiring discussions at LAVA Forums and at NI Discussion Forums. I’d also like to thank NI R&D team for developing LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming; LabVIEW would not have been nearly as interesting for me without all those challenging moments with LVOOP. Also special thanks to Jim Kring, Matias Palva, Stephen Mercer and Mikael Holmström for interesting private discussions. And last but not least very special thanks to all other ExpressionFlow authors, this site would not have evolved to where it’s now without you.
