Don't feel bad.  I had the same experience - I wrote a game with a full 
fledged scripting language built in, years ago when I was in high 
school.  It was a lot of lines, and represented a lot of work.

I lost to a GPA calculator.  This was a program where you typed in your 
grades and it told you your average.  It was like 200 lines or something 
silly like that.

Even the guy who won told me I clearly should have won.  Everyone 
competing against me did.  Oh, well.  It happens.  Silly 
only-knew-Fortran judges.
