First decide the kind of assignment you want to make :

There are three types of assignments:

• Basic API Assignments take some part of the J2SE API and build an assignment around that.
• Algorithmic assignments focus on the implementation of a certain pattern or algorithm.
• Simulation in which some business case is simulated.

Secondly you should think of an interesting story which sets the scene of the assignment.

Thirdly you should review the process of developing an assignment for the competition.

1. You: Contact us with your idea for the Assignment.
2. We: Check if no other assignments with the same topic are being made.
3. Us: Come to agreement on when a playable version of the assignment will be available.
4. We: Playtest the assignment and give feedback.
5. You: Fine tune the assignment.
6. Us: Repeat steps 3..5 until perfection is (almost) reached.
7. Assignment Complete !

Finally have a look in your agenda to see if you have sufficient time to make and playtest the assignment. The following timeline may help:
