Thaw

中文 | English

Thaw is an off-line judger supporting distributed problem repositories. Everyone can use Thaw release problems with license on GitHub or other open sourse repositories, get problems locally and judge programs automatically.

We request people who write problems add licenses to their problems or clear copyright notice so that problems can be shared easier, and data generator and solution as well, which can support generalization test and help improve the problems.

By making it off-line, distributed and based on GitHub, situations in which a few administrators examine a large number of problems can be prevented. The nice atmosphere on GitHub can also make quanlity of discussion higher.

We also hope to improve traditional methods of judging. Making it off-line helps avoid creating motivation of cheating, and we hope people do not exceedingly pursue the optimization of the program, but concentrate on things like the readability of code. We will support judging with less strict limit of time and memory, and estimating the polynomial time complexity of a program.

We will make it simple to configure and highly hackable too.

Installation

Package will be created and be released on pip and GitHub after enough improvement and tests on 0.0.1.

Manual

See ./docs/manual.md.

Also See sampleproblem about how to write a problem with Thaw for example.

Below are expected result.

Create a problem:

thaw init .
git init sampleproblem
cd sampleproblem
thaw init hello_world
cd hello_world
vim -p hello_world.zh-CN.md hello_world.en-US.md std.cpp std.py checker.py

Solve a problem:

vim hello_world.cpp
thaw submit hello_world.cpp

Release a problem:

git add .
git commit -m "add hello_world"
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/sampleproblem
git push origin master

Download a problem:

git clone https://github.com/username/sampleproblem
