Hi everyone,

As most of you already know, Google has discontinued their Code Jam and Kick Start competitions, and plans to completely shut down its competitions website on July 1st 2023. It would be a shame if all of its 20-year history just vanishes, so I decided to download, more or less, the whole competitions website. All of the 205 scoreboards, 716 problems, editorials, test data, and all of submitted code (3547830 total files) where it's still available.

The archive is published here:

I added some problem statistics (fastest/shortest solutions), Codeforces handles, and dark mode :)

This is a pure static HTML website, which you can download entirely and keep a local copy, the archives are 3 GB in total. In case you prefer problem statements in PDF, printing-to-PDF from browser gives surprisingly decent results.

For now, I plan to do exactly one last update after Farewell Rounds in April, besides these rounds I will probably add Hash Code, per-user statistics and more Codeforces handles.
UPDATE: it is all done now, check out the profile search feature.

Thanks to the go-hero.net author for pre-2018 data, to all members who compiled the finalist lists here, and of course, to Google for all of these competitions, that was a lot of fun.
