Thanks!

Thank you :D

Yes, In our next minor update to 0.0.2 we shall be including C++,C and Java support for MAC users as well.

We now have MAC support for c++, c and Java as well

Yeah we've planned this feature. Will hopefully add it soon

We are glad you find it useful :)

Thank you :). We will work on it. We will update the blog if we manage to provide the same speed and convenience as codeforces submit.

We are glad you find it useful :)

Since new problems get added every week and your submission status also changes, we load problems everytime you open VS Code. We initially did think of caching in a json file locally but we were faced with the following difficulties:

• If we cache all problems till date D, the codeforces api doesnt let us request for problems added only after date D. It always returns the entire problemset. So if we anyway are returned all problems by the codeforces api , why cache locally.

• We could try to do webscraping from the Problemset Page to get more recent problems after the last cached date D. But webscraping from one problemset html page and then parsing it and looking for the recent problems would turn out to be much slower than directly getting the problemset object as a json object from the cf api

glad to hear it's working. How did you resolve the issue?

Virtual contests arent returned by the codeforces api so thats why we werent able to include them.

We just found small bugs in cerr. It doesnt behave as expected for inifinite loops but works fine in any other case. Thanks for pointing out. We'll fix it soon for infinite loops as well.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll work on adding those features but about the search functionality, there is a provision in VS To search through the contests and probelems anyway. Just click anywhere in the problemlist/contestlist and start typing the problem/contest you want to search for. They will get filtered accordingly. Incase that search doesnt seem too obvious to spot, we can go ahead and add a search as well.

Sure, Noted. Will make sure in next release.

Its been resolved in the most recent release

How do you get to this interface? Extension looks amazing

Edit: Nevermind, I found it

are you being sarcastic?

We match exact output only for now. We will add a feature for custom checker soon. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you!

Thanks alot

Really glad you liked it!! We were very particular about the speed of our extension as well!!

Hi,so im assuming you use c++ and generally compile c++ programs on your system by entering "g++ filename.cpp <--flags>" in your terminal/cmd. Incase you dont, just include g++ in your environment variables(windows)/PATH variables(linux) on your system so g++ can be run globally in your cmd/terminal. You could type "g++ --version" in your terminal to check if its been done properly. Then do the following:

1. Press "Ctrl+comma" on your system to open the VS code settings.

2. Go to the codepal section in Extensions->codepal

3. The compiler would be set to g++ by default.

4. Head to compiler flags section and add whatever compiler flags you typically add.

Our extension basically runs g++ for you in your environment. Hence it needs g++ to be included in the nvironment(windows)/PATH(linux) variables on your system.

Secondly, yeah we need to work on our documentation! Will ensure a better documentation soon! I hope this helps the issue you're facing. Incase it doesnt , it'll be great help if you could elaborate your issue in the issues section of our repository and we'll ensure a fix for it in the next release.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

We are glad you find it useful :)

Thank you!

Thank You!!

Sure! Will add in next release!

We have added Kotlin support. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks. We will look into it!

Hi, are you mentioning the entire path there, because it works. Can you share a screenshot or something?

Hi! This happens when the extension doesn't receive a response from CF API. This usually happens when you have a bad internet connection. Please try again with a stable internet connection.

with a good stable internet connection, it shouldn't. Please try again with good internet.

Can you explain more about what you are trying to do? The job of the generator is just to print test cases.

The stress testing works like this:

• Suppose gen, brute and soln are the three executable files.
• ./gen 1 > input.txt
• ./brute < input.txt > brute_output.txt
• ./soln < input.txt > soln_output.txt
• Check if brute_output.txt and soln_output.txt are equal. If they are then we try "./gen 2" and so on.
• If the two files don't match then the stress testing stops and this input file is shown.

This is the reason why you can't directly do stress testing on problems with multiple correct solutions. Although there are workarounds like adding a checker inside your soln.cpp

Hope I cleared your doubt.

You don't have g++ installed on your system. The extension is only trying to run g++ on your system. So if your system does not have g++ installed you would see this error.

It is intended behavior (sort of). Definitely, we need to change the error message to "Warnings Exist" or similar. But since this extension is mainly for beginners its good practice to resolve the warnings before running the test cases.

Maybe in the future, we can add an option in settings to run the code even if warnings exist.

no, not yet.

There is a collapsible tree to view the Tags. You can choose to not expand the drop down if you dont wish to see the tags.

Hi, we don't really maintain this extension anymore. We made this extension as college students, we have graduated and now work full time since then. For the near future at least, there are no plans to maintain but it might change in the future.

I will try to help as much as I can. The template file feature should work. Please give the absolute path of the template file. If the error still persists then can you share screenshots of the error and your system specifications (OS. VSCode version etc,).
