Command Line Interface for Online Programming Contests.

Programming contests are fun. However, there are chores which are not fun, like

• copy a sample input and run a program against it
• compare it with a sample answer
• submit (copy & paste or select a file)

This tool automate these chores so that we can enjoy only really fun part of programming contests (which is, thinking and implementing).

Here is a demo solving a problem from AOJ (links to youtube):

$ gem install clicoder

It contains

• configurations of template files
• configurations for various programming contest sites.

Example:

---
sites:
  default:
      template: template.cpp # template file. relative to this file
  aoj:
      template: aoj_template.cpp # template only used for site 'aoj'
      user_id: Glen_S
      password: PASSWORD
  atcoder:
      user_id: Glen_S
      password: PASSWORD

It is recommended to put your template file under ~/.clicoder.d. It will be copied into working directories as main.* each time you start solving new problems.

If you don't use templates, make sure you write your solutions in files named main.*.

Commands:
  clicoder add_test        # Add new test case
  clicoder all             # build, execute, and judge
  clicoder browse          # Open problem page with the browser
  clicoder build           # Build your program
  clicoder download        # Download description, inputs and outputs
  clicoder execute         # Execute your program
  clicoder help [COMMAND]  # Describe available commands or one specific command
  clicoder judge           # Judge your outputs
  clicoder new <command>   # start a new problem
  clicoder submit          # Submit your program

• AOJ
• AtCoder

clicoder new aoj PROBLEM_NUMBER # Prepare directory to deal with new problem from AOJ
clicoder new atcoder TASK_URL   # Prepare directory to deal with new problem from AtCoder

PROBLEM_NUMBER is shown in problem URL like this:

http://judge.u-aizu.ac.jp/onlinejudge/description.jsp?id=0001

TASK_URL is a URL which looks like this:

http://arc001.contest.atcoder.jp/tasks/arc001_1

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

This repository uses RSpec to test application logic and Cucumber to test acceptance as a CLI tool. Make sure both tests passes before submitting pull requests.

$ bundle exec rspec spec/
$ bundle exec cucumber features/

It's easy to add new sites.

1. Implement new site class
2. Add it to the factory method (new_with_config) in lib/clicoder/site_base.rb
3. Add new command (clicoder new new_site ARGS) in lib/clicoder/cli.rb

Site classes resides in lib/clicoder/sites directory. See existing sites for examples.

You need to implement abstract methods specified in Clicoder::SiteBase.

And you need to specify xpaths for description, sample inputs, and sample outputs for a problem of the site you created. You can specify multiple xpaths for sample inputs and sample outputs (those are joined with | operator of xpath). Write it in config/default.yml, under xpaths: section like this:

languages:
  ...
xpaths:
  ...
  YOUR_SITE:
    description: YOUR_DESCRIPTION_XPATH
    inputs:
      - YOUR_SAMPLE_INPUTS_XPATH
      - YOUR_SAMPLE_INPUTS_XPATH_2
    outputs:
      - YOUR_SAMPLE_OUTPUTS_XPATH
      - YOUR_SAMPLE_OUTPUTS_XPATH_2
