Hi
It looks like we badly need a SpreadsheetCreator for FP challenges. FP
spreadsheets have not been updated for ages.
I created a pool to settle how many points it should give to make one.
Perhaps it is easiest to make a new one based on the current
SpreadsheetCreator, perhaps it is best to extend it. Normally it would give
100 points to make a tool, but I think it is proper to discuss how to do it
and then give an adequate amount of points, based on the estimated effort.
How many points should it give to make SpreadsheetCreator for FP challenges?

Hi
The rules for the FP challenges are indentical to the rules for
Integer/String etc. challenges. Only exception is that FP functions
generally comes in 3 precisions: Extended, Double and Single. One function
can often be used in all 3 precisions with minor changes. One function entry
/ one winner is therefore only rewarded by 1/3 of the points rewarded in
other challenges.
fastcode.sourceforge.net/challenge_content/Rules.html
A target winner gives 10 points.
A target entry gives 1 point.
Only one target entry per target gives points.
A FP target winner gives 10/3 points.
A FP target entry gives 1/3 point.
Only one target entry per target/precision gives points.
