Shamelessly copying description of Virtual Contest from Codeforces -
"Virtual Contests enable the users to run the past contests in a special mode that would imitate a real competition. It feels just like a real contest with real contestants competing alongside with the participant who plays a virtual contest.”
It will be very helpful for preparation of short contests.
Few of the features are :
You can add Friends and see their separate ranklist during live virtual contest.
Several people can play virtual contest together and see each others ranking.
All COOKOFF’s starting from COOK01 to recent COOK98A/B are available to play as virtual contest.
You can compare yourself with other people while virtual contest is in play.
Video Tutorial to Use WebApp : Video link (Just a short 12 min video, you can watch at 1.5x :P)
Slides for better understanding of App: Slides(We both are very poor in making slides, we apologize beforehand _/\_)
Note : Judgement result takes a while to reflect in standings as Codechef restricts no. of API requests in a min.(6 calls/min), just refresh the page in a while.
I really wished for virtual contests to start on codechef, god bless you guys. I’ll see if I can be of any help in contributing to improvement of API
1)Also a green tick and a wrong tick for attempted correct and incorrect submissions will be more helpful…
2)It would be better if we can see stars of users in the given rank list…
3) Also filter option in rank list
I would like to appreciate compare progress function…
Very good project ,I wished that there existed a similar platform on codechef for virtual contests like codeforces few months back,and you guys made it into a reality,Keep it going.
@hasan356 Great job buddies !!! Are you guys aware of Hactoberfest on Github? Its an initiative taken to make beginners contribute to the open source. Maybe you can post known issues or enhancements that you need in this project and tag that issue with “hactoberfest” and others will try to contribute to it.
