Rocket Competitive Programming
A command line client for parsing and making folders and files for test cases using the competitive companion extension and testing the solution. Building this with an ๐ฏ aim of making Competitive Programming More Productive

Usage [As of development stage]:
https://discord.gg/axfEwf6K
Here is our discord server link -Note:
- I don't have much knowledge about wether the file operations should be synchronous or asynchronous.
- I'm trying to keep most of the (infact all of the) functions as synchronous.
Checklist:
- Parse the post request data from the extension
- Create files for the problems recieved
- Change the file creation into folder creation
- Make a template directory and copy the template
- Template Checklist:
- add the problem metadata on the top of the problem file
- add only the metadata if template not found
- Template Checklist:
- Create make file for each folder
- Makefile Checklist:
- run the program agains the test cases
- show the difference in a user readable format (chalk for node js coloring/ bash based coloring)
- Can we have a Makefile in a directory and then use that makefile for all the sub folders [ may be have smaller make files in each sub dir ] - Aim: memory efficient
- Makefile Checklist:
- Config files storing user preferences
- Ship a binary instead of running the commands using node js. Refer cftool for example (or atleast a npm package that can be installed globally)
Things to figure out (way above my head as of now):
- Running the js script from inside the problem directory
- May be use a hash bang
#/usr/bin/env node
and link the file tobin
usingln
- May be use a hash bang
- Making a npm package that can be installed globally ??
- Make an extension like
competitive companion
for codechef and codeforces - Submit the problem to cf from the cli.
- Network checklist:
- Check and understand the csrf token stuff
- Deep dive into the network tab
- Network checklist:
- If it is that the extension is developed incorporate usage of advanced DOM manipulations and web scraping and parsing and extend the extension to many other sites
Dependencies:
- Aim to use the least dependencies and Especially not use a web framework and build the application using vanilla node js
- mkdirp - Will rewrite after studying more about path library and seperators and POSIX and NON POSIX URL Like paths
- Prefer having less dependencies to having less SLOC
Recall:
- Donot involve complexities like using env variables at the start
- Think of cross platformeness later
- Make a working version and then focus on refactoring and abstraction
Technical details used:
- PORT for listening to post requests from the extension: 10045
shebang
:#!/usr/bin/env node
