Topcoder makes me crazy!

Why Topcoder's OJ so old-style?

  • every time I refresh the page, it reloads the entire page and waits almost 1-2 seconds.
  • it can't compile your code now, it said "network timeout".
  • to be continued...

I submit an issue on GitHub but got no response, maybe it's high time to crawl test cases from Topcoder, and build an offline judge to verdict my code. Should I do this?

    ok, guys, I made a script to fetch test cases from topcoder, it requires your account info(yes password also) and someone's problem statistics page like this one, you can find these statistics on competitiveprogramming.

    for now, I just throw away brackets, commas, etc , and treat it as plain text, making code get input from the file. when I got a better solution, I'll share my offline_judge with you guys.

      Hi you guys, I'd like to share my OfflineJudge with you. What you need to do is to set up your topcoder account and problem's statistics page, and just run it. feel free to change it to meet your own preferences.
