Some Suggestions

[fabiosikansi]

Hello, I am a student of University of Sao Paulo.

We used Moodle Online Judge Plugin in some tasks of Object-Oriented Programming classes.

To improve the activities I did a small change in your code. I added the following options for activities:
-Insert a preamble in a code;
-Insert a postamble in a code;

With this options the teacher can add some pieces of code in all tasks sent to the activity.
In University of Sao Paulo, we used this options to establish the main function for all students. So, we can evaluate if the student used correct programming techniques like heritage and polymorphism in Java. It isn't possible with only output comparision.

I have released these changes in a google code repository http://code.google.com/p/moodle-online-judge-changes/
However, I think it would be interesting if these changes were made ​​by you, who built the entire project. So I want to make this suggestion to you.

Another suggestion is a plug in to use the online judge as a question type of a quiz in moodle. That would be interesting why moodle add all activities to grade board, and several times we use your plugin for a non-evaluated activity and in actitivities with more than one exercise.

It is a great project, thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the great suggestions! I will look at your code and make it possible to be included in mine.

And the question type suggestion is just what we are working on. You can check https://github.com/glovenone/oj. But it is still far from good. Perhaps https://github.com/trampgeek/ccode is better. It is under development by @trampgeek . I knew it several weeks ago and am considering combining them. If you have any ideas or other suggestions, feel free to post here.

I will leave this issue open until merging the preamble and postamble options
