It is a new feature and also a complex one.
An online ide with multiple (many) languages,custom input, text editor, interface and many more … is pretty complex and difficult to construct and maintain.
It is also in alpha/beta phase ( I think).
So at first it may lack the flexibility and efficiency but please bear with codechef, they will rectify/ modify it as soon as they can.
Note : One thing they should modify right way is remove the 30 second restriction between two submissions.
ya, the cursor blinks at 2 positions left whatever you type.
otherwise it is working good,
i have compiled a programe with gcc 4.8.1, it’s working.
great step by codechef team !!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL PROGRAMMERS !!!1
And one more thing, is it possible if one use that ide somehow to see the submitted codes of other coders? I am craving for that feature from months.
great feature but i am still not able to figure out the binary number for the dialog box (shame on me)
Hello Everyone,
Let me answer your queries one by one.
@bhavesh_munot
The issue you faced while running your code was due to unavailability of gcc-4.3.2. When you uploaded the same code, the compiler changed to gcc-4.8.1 (due to auto detection of possible language/compiler ) and on submitting it got executed. We have removed gcc-4.3.2 from the list, as it is not available for now.
@ all who are facing cursor issues
The issue was due to unavailability of menlo font which we were using to initialize the editor font. We have changed it to monospace and you should not face any issue now. Please let us know if still anyone faces this issue.
@ all who believe 30 seconds restriction is too much
We have reduced it to 15 seconds. It’s an experimental value, we may further reduce it.
We hope that you guys are liking the feature. Keep us informed at feedback@codechef.com. You can directly reach me at abhijeet@codechef.com for suggestions/feedback/bugs/hugs.
Wish you guys A Very Happy New Year 11111011111.
Nice, I might start using it instead of Ideone when on old lab computers. I’ll stick to my laptop’s Sublime Text + Cygwin otherwise.
Still facing the Cursor Problem.
I actually just wanted to know how does the editor know which problem we are writing the code for? i mean there is no details about the problem code or any such thing on the ide and we also open it anytime as independent of any links in the problem statement which might have made the correspondence between the code written on the ide and the problem we are writing the code for. If it is too advanced, then please explain in simple terms.
yes, otherwise its great
No, it doesn’t seem to be. Cursor blinks on the right side only as I can see.
Yeah, the cursor seems to be situated one place left than usual.
Lucky you 
Yeah, the cursor does seems to be situated one place left than usual.
Its just so strange, in mine it’s correctly on the right side and blinks 
different results on different systems
i run a python code without edits, it was working fine.
But when i edit a cpp code
xy|z
It was like on pressing backspace result was
x|y
i.e. Cursor moved to left direction but delete a character to right!! 
But i hope team will resolve it…
haha… lucky you @damn_me
never mind i would like to appreciate for this initiative, and i know bugs are a part of development process, at least what i learnt from problem Sanskar…
and i hope team will resolve the bug soon…
Exactly… That sanskar problem the most inspiring ones :D!!
Just checked, C++ and JAVA are working too.
I can edit code also, just the cursor has weird position.
But don’t you think removing that can impose a heavy load on the server which may be unnecessary. However, obviously they already must be having a way out of this, but still we many times submit(run) codes after removing just one or two errors while compiler shows many. When languages work on compiler basis then, I think this restriction should be there. However, even I find that irritating
