Ground Control Configuration Panel

Ground Control Configuration Panel

---

Overview

Ground Control Configuration is a new, user-friendly panel that allows the teaching admin to more easily control their contests/assessments. It enables administrators to toggle token counters, export contest leaderboards, assign entries for voting and customise team assessments when necessary. Future developers working on assessments will benefit from a readily available panel for assessment-related controls and features.

Main Features

Feature 1: Token Counter (Completed)

Rationale: Enable administrators to enable token counters which are displayed upon running code. This allows students to easily check their token counts during contests without having to wrap their submissions in the count_tokens function.
