cp-bot (alpha)

A CLI tool using golang for simplifying the process of participating in a competitive programming contest.

How to use?

This tool provides the following commands:

cp-bot contest-url

This command creates the following structure in ~/cp/<platform-name> directory by scraping the contest pages. It will also copy ~/cp/template.cpp to this directory so you can get started coding right away.

<contest-id>
├── <problem-id>
│   ├── exp[0..].txt
│   ├── inp[0..].txt
│   ├── out[0..].txt
│   ├── sol
│   └── sol.cpp
└─...

• sol.cpp is the main file containing the solution containing your template.
• i[0..].text are the files with the input for various test cases.
• o[0..].cpp will contain the output of running the respective i files with your program.
• e[0..].cpp is the expected output for the respective i file.

cp-bot check

Once done with your solution run this command in that problem directory to check your solution against all corresponding expected outputs and get a nice diff view.

cp-bot clean (wip)

After you're done with the contest

Configuration

A ~/.config/cp-bot/config.yaml is read to configure some basic settings.

1. directory, which directory to keep all the contests in. Defaults to ~/cp.
2. template, which template to use. Defaults to $cp/template.cpp.

Example:

directory: ~/pichu/raichu
template: ~/abra/kadabra/alkazam.cpp

New Features?

This tool is still in alpha so write in your (https://github.com/ArchitBhonsle/cp-bot/issues)[issues]. Even better, if you have experience in Golang send in pull requests.

Some things I wanna add but am too bored to:

1. Support for other languages. (Say Java and Python)
2. Windows support. (This I may not be able to do on my own)
3. Support more cp platforms.
4. Individual problems instead of whole contests.
5. Instead of url, entering just the platform name and contest id.
