Virtual Contest Selector has returned!

Revision en1, by infinitepro, 2019-06-28 21:06:23

Hello codeforces community, I want to present to you all my codeforces Virtual Contest Selector to find and participate in virtual contests with friends without any hassle.

Introduction

Have you ever wanted to participate in a virtual contest and compete along with friends? Have you faced the hassle of finding a common non-attempted contest to participate in?
This is the same problem I had while trying to find virtual contests and, like most other people, searched the net for a solution, but in vain(There was a bot on discord, but it has been discontinued.)
So finding no alternative, I decided to code my own finder. In any case, how hard could it be? Using the codeforces api, JS and random tutorials on the net, I made this simple, yet useful, virtual contest finder.

Usage

  • Enter the handle's of participants in the virtual contest. The handle's along with the rating will be added into a table.
  • Click on Show button on the right. All potential contests are displayed, along with the contest code.
  • Clicking on the name of the contest opens the contest dashboard on a new tab.

Points to be noted

  • A contest is excluded from the list only if a person has an AC solution in the contest.
  • For problems common to multiple divisions, only the division through which the problem was solved will be excluded.
  • If an invalid handle is added or a handle is repeated, no error messgase will be displayed, though the handle won't be counted or added to the table.

Contributions and Feature Requests

  • As I learnt JS just a week back(for this project exclusively), my project is prone to inumerable bugs. Thus, if find any bugs, please don't file bug issues (as I don't know anything in JS, and I can't devote my time to learning it.) Instead, create a pull request addressing the issues.
  • This project was made using a CSS framework called — Semantic UI. You are free to use Bootstrap, if Semantic-UI can't accomplish the required implementation for new features.

Todo

  • Support Gym contests
  • Filter contests based on division.
  • Add colours to handle's added into the table(while maintaining the clean UI)
  • Extend contest participation criteria to problems common in multiple divisions.
  • Add alert messages for invalid handle inputs.
