codosseum-challenges

This repository contains the collective effort of the codosseum team and contributors to create an open database of coding challenges.

The challenges are written in a well-defined format and are therefore easy to read for machines. The challenges in this repository are primarily meant for running codosseum instances, but can, in theory, be incorporated just about anywhere. If you want, you can also just use these as problems to practice your programming skills, without any additional software.

Contribute Challenges

Do you want to contribute a challenge?

1. Fork this repository
2. Clone your version of the repository to your computer
3. (Optional, but recommended): set up pre-commit (see below) to ensure that your changes can be accepted.
4. Create a new directory for your challenge under the challenges/ directory of the repository, e.g. my-challenge (the name of the directory will be the unique ID of the challenge)
5. Copy the challenge template file to your challenge directory under the name of your challenge, e.g. cp challenge-template.yml challenges/my-challenge/challenge.yml. The name of the file must be challenge.yml.
6. Edit your challenge file, enter all the relevant information, create a solution in a language of your choice in the same directory
7. Commit and push your changes
8. Open a pull request

In the future, we will provide a more convenient web UI for submitting challenges.
