and if you're a programmer we will donate $5 if you solve our programming puzzle on http://fightsopa.org

Thanks!

Great!

Sure in this case you better send them the 5$, nevertheless please share this with friends or colleagues that may want to give their contribution while having fun for half an hour.…

Yup, your script should receive the path to a single file, not a wildcard. I'll take a look at the logs. :) Thanks for your feedback.

It's a fairly easy puzzle, for an average programmer it should take at most half an hour. Give it a shot :)

and on Coderloop you can also use Fortran, Erlang, Objective-C, Lua, Javascript, Scala, OCaml, Clojure and Common-Lisp :) http://www.coderloop.com/home/guidelines

I wrote a note on the post but it doesn't seem to show up. We have the puzzles for sysadmins in beta and we're looking for beta testers, send us your coderloop username to info@cod…

thanks, I've posted the video because the sysadmin puzzles are not yet available to every user the video shows how they work, any feedback/comment is welcome :)

We accept beta testers for our new sysadmin puzzle system, send an email to info@coderloop.com with your Coderloop username to join the beta.

Hi, I'm the founder of Coderloop.com, a programming competition platform. Our platform is able to test user submitted programs against a problem spec. We also support specs that re…

Cool, this one is a very good idea actually, a user generated database of test cases for each puzzle! I'm putting it in our backlog, thank you very much!

In theory it can be done, but it would be very expensive in terms of computational power. Anyway, you raised a very good point that we will keep in mind for the near future. Thanks…

Thanks! The code is executed by an "host" script with a system call, not sure if this breaks the __main__ function in python. We will look into that issue. :)

Ok but here the point is not about technology, it's very easy for us to give you access to the output of your program (in fact if you use a compiled language, and the compilation p…

I'm sorry for that, we're going to add support for 2.7 very soon!

Hi, I understand your point. The problem with the feedback is that if we tell you for which inputs we're testing your solution, you could develop an optimized version of the soluti…

Sure, we can add any language that have an open source compiler/interpreter. I've added Prolog to our backlog. Stay tuned!

Great! Soon we will integrate everything in one single page so you don't have to leave the editor to get the feedback on your submission.

The problem with this is that the most difficult puzzles usually have few submissions, so the ratio between pass/tries is not meaningful. We've been thinking about asking the users…

interesting idea, how will you measure the "length"? just how many characters the source code is made of? we could make a competition out of it...

Thanks, I've added the upgrade to our backlog, stay tuned!

Thanks, we will make the links more obvious :)
