What is your competitive programming setup?
By jedi, history, 12 months ago, In English

I use Visual Studio Code with CPH and Thorium browser. I am just curious about what tools do you use to do competitive programming.

I use Neovim with the competitest plugin. It imports all the testcases automatically from a problem and also automates testing my solution against those testcases.

    if there are more than 2 seperate test cases then are all the test cases available to run in the terminal.

I use 6 monitors to be able to open 6 problems simultaneously. On each monitor I open vim and a problem in a split-screen mode. Then I use 3 keyboards (controlled simultaneously by my two hands and a feet), to code 3 problems simultaneously (at the same time thinking about 3 other problems in background). I'm planning to attach 4 more hands to myself to be able to comfortably code on 6 keyboards using hands only.

Here is photo of my setup (mouse is just for fun, lol):

    Nice setup. Instead of getting 4 new hands, I'd suggest that you start training a very important body part and then you will be able to code 4 problems at once.

    You may need more monitors to display the questions

As I am quite seasoned, the historic 1998 Dev-C++ by Bloodshed (in the last 2021 fork version by Embarcadero), with GCC

Windows + Far Manager + MinGW.

Far is bad as IDE (or I can't use it), but it is good in managing files quickly.

At the moment I like to use CLion as it works very well on Linux and it provides a good debugger. I don't use any special tools.
