About half a year ago I posted there announcement of my site CodeAbbey. Since then the site have been evolving by and by (many thanks to all people who provided invaluable hints and suggestions!) — and few of them looks funny enough to me so that I'm eager to tell a bit about two of them.

Certificates

They [are awarded] for certain achievements (currently for 125 problems) — and are shown in profile — though you can also print it and hang above your desk. Of course they are still useless papers, but they are somewhat funny I think:

Certificate for Nicolas Patrois

Certificates bear unique number on them so that their authenticity could be verified on site. You may read more here about them.


Interactive problems

They were introduced recently — to solve the problem user is to play a kind of game against a server. HTTP Post requests are used for interchange (sample code fragments in Python are provided).

Currently there are only four such problems:

  • Say 100 — simple test that you can work with HTTP;
  • Nim Game — also simple but allowing several moves;
  • Maze of the Wumpus — by the motives of old game — requiring a bit of heuristic I suppose;
  • Connect Four — once popular tic-tac-toe-like game allowing to practice minimax algorithm.

Though of course I hope to add more in future — and to improve clumsy infrastructure of these games also, he-he :)


Concluding I'd say it appeared to be a funny matter to try building my own site, though small and puny. Besides other things it made me acquainted with several interesting people all around the world — I hope I'll be able to write about some of them later in separate posts.
