Inspiration

While reading "Programming Challenges - The Programming Content Training Manual" by Steven S. Skiena and Miguel A. Revilla I was inspired to use the problems in the book as an avenue to learn other programming languages. Traditionally I started as a C# developer and played around with these problems. The entire time I wished there was a place to submit my code in order to verify it against the judge program data. Since the ACM competition only supports C, C++, Java and Pascal it seemed I did not have that option.

Fast forward many years and my employment asked me to being learning Python. For whatever reason I was drawn back to the problems in the Programming Challenges book. Again, I was out of luck for a place to submit my code. This time though I had an idea. Why not create a framework that allows anyone to add in languages and have them checked against the same inputs and outputs.

Goals

The goal of this project is, as stated above, is to create a framework that allows a developer to write some code and submit it to an electronic judge that accepts more languages than the standard ACM programming competition rules allow. If this judge were incorporated into a ACM-like programming competition, the intent is to be a back-end automated verification tool, possibly as a fleet.

Getting Started

Developed and Tested using Python 3.6.1 with python submissions

  • Clone this repo to your local disk.
  • To run the app using the default configuration
    • python ./extended_uva_judge/server.py
  • To run the app using the a custom configuration
    • cp ./extended_uva_judge/config.yml ~/some/other/location/local.yml
    • Make any edits to local.yml using your favorite editor
    • python ./extended_uva_judge/server.py --config=~/some/other/location/local.yml

Configuration

I'm going to try to document the config.yml inline :-). I suggest keeping a copy of the default config, exampled as local.yml above, in a path outside of this repository.

Example Usage

The Post

curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:80/api/v1/problem/100/py2/test \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \
  -F [email protected]
  • The request can include the query string ?debug=true to include the stdout and stderr data.
