Google Chrome Extension to solve individual problems with a timer
By adzo261, history, 4 years ago, In English

Hi Codeforces Community,
I have made an extension to be able to practice speed problem solving on Codeforces.



It can set a timer within Codeforces site so that you get the native contest like feel but for an individual problem.
You can select different timers. Once selected, if you open any problem from Problem set or Contest it will automatically start the timer if it is a new problem for you.

I am not writing much here because I have already written instructions on the github repo.

Suggestions, improvements, and Pull Requests are welcomed!
Looking forward to hearing from the community

Update:
Custom Timer Added.

Thanks!

there is a bug when I set the counter to 20 min for example and reload the problem , it say "finished" while it doesn't count down .also I suggest some new features. it will be great if you make it available to set the timer to a custom time .

    Hi, Thanks for trying !
    Once you start a timer, it can't be changed for that problem.
    So one should select the timer before opening a problem.
    And, if the problem is already solved the timer changes to Finished.
    I think that may be the case for you, you must have chose already solved problem.
    Do correct me if I am wrong.
    I highly appreciate the suggestion for custom timer, and I will implement it. Thanks!
    Also, I would like to ask, is it good to reset the timer, even after we have used it for same problem? Like you tried refreshing the page to change timer ?
    Will it be a good and natural option ?
    i.e Once you select timer, the already selected one resets and starts a new timer.

    Update: — Custom Timer is now added. Do check it out.

    Hi, if enough people want for Mozilla Firefox, I will surely extend when I get time.
    Not sure about Opera though.

It said Timed Out and I cant use Reset or Done button. How can I reset it

Can you add a "Reset" button to it ?

Okay, I didn't know this extension exists, I have felt the need for such a tool for quite a time now. I will try it and post a review here if I like it!

Extension is nice, but being able to apply timer on the same problem again is really necessary... i hope you'll add that soon.
