I've finished Stockfighter, and wrote a clone of the official stock exchange server. You can find that here: https://github.com/bcoburn3/forex

I'm looking for work as a programmer in NYC, my email address is bcoburn3@gmail.com please get in touch if you also think that a game like Stockfighter is a good test of programmer skill.

So... did you get an interview of any kind directly from the game?

No interviews yet, but I did just write a response to an email asking about interest in a specific company.

The impression I get is that people have gotten and will get interviews through this, but that the amount of time each one takes is more than expected and that Thomas/Patrick/Erin are generally overwhelmed.
