Hello, I'm teaching myself the "Ionic" framework for fun and wrote an app to calculate the coding time for a problem in a Topcoder contest, based on points scored. There used to be some great websites for Topcoder utilities like this, but anyway, here is my small offering:
Ionic is intended for mobile apps, so it will look best on a phone.
There is one bug which may amuse this audience to find: for a certain input, it shows a correct but wrongly formatted coding time. I'm sure there's more, so all suggestions and bug reports are appreciated.
Note, the app is of course free, but I plan to monetize it using the Reverse Knuth Model, meaning the first person to submit a bug report owes me $1, then the second owes me $2, the third owes me $4, and so on doubling each time.
I expect to retire soon!
So you have implemented this feature?
Yes, from time to time I like to know the coding time, for example, seeing a top programmer's score in the practice rooms I'm curious to know how long it took, or in a live contest (before the website stats are updated).
Suggestion:
You said "Seeing a top programmer's score in the practice rooms I'm curious to know how long it took".
I think you have to calculate the score which takes >75m to solve a problem in a practice room.
For example, if you get 90.9 pts without resubmission in 250-point-problem, it don't calculates.
Thanks! I have it clamped to contest conditions right now, but I'll look into that. I'm still not sure how exactly the formula works at lower ends.
I'll keep a practice room window open for more than 75mins and see what the score counts down to.
I think (experience) practice room's score is calculated same contest duration in real contest.
Why do you think anyone would submit you a bug report if he has to pay money for it?
