ACBoost

A simple tool that helps you WA faster, therefore AC faster.

Usage

1. Create a new project

   . acboost-create <problem_name> [problem_url]

   This will create a new project under $(date +%Y)/$problem_name and cd into it.

2. Type your answer in src/${problem_name}.cpp.

3. Edit some cases and their answers in cases/*.in, cases/*.out.

4. Run test

   make test

   Or simply just make.

   An example output (with the ac_boost theme).

   

5. Enjoy your WAs and ACs.

Advance Usage

1. Use custom theme.

   Custom theme can be load by supplying ACBOOST_THEME variable.

   ACBOOST_THEME=$ACBOOST_ROOT/themes/ac_boost make test

   You can provide your own theme and use it this way. Refer to themes/default to learn more.

2. You can put the variables in your shell login script to preserve your configuration.

   Edit ~/.bashrc (if you use bash).

   ACBOOST_ROOT=$your_ACBOOST_ROOT
   ACBOOST_THEME=ac_boost # load theme from $ACBOOST_ROOT/themes/
   
   # use this to boost your access to ACBoost
   alias acboost-create=". $ACBOOST_ROOT/acboost-create"

3. Specify your own prefix when creating new project.

   By default projects will be created under $(date +%Y). You can specify your own prefix.

   ACBOOST_DIRPREFIX=easy_problems acboost-create problem_a

   You can also specify this parameter via your login script.

4. Test ACBoost itself.

   cd metatest
   # Create test projects
   make create-test-projects
   # Run test
   make test
