I believe time is important and checking the rating, again and again, can be bad for productivity
I've made a script you can use, which will automatically notify you once the ratings change. Find it here
Update: I changed the script to pass through any errors like network or server down (of course except KeyboardInterrupt)
HELP: If the ratings still remain the same (unlikely and rare, but possible) how do I notify? can you think of a workaround?
For details how the script is running read more:
basically, I fetched the html code for your profile page. I observed that the rating always lie in the info class div and between " style="font-weight:bold;"> and </span>
I used that to scrape the rating by splitting the string by above observations and after comparing repeatedly to current rating curr you get notified. As simple as that!
When I got the Idea, I went on googling the next one hour and went on to see an Episode of suits :P
Then this happened.
It felt Like magic because I had forgotten that the script is running
Lastly Thanks for reading!
PS: Even though it's just blue, it was a thing to celebrate for me :)
Probably check
rating[0] > currfor printing "Congratulations". It's not a good idea to congratulate someone on decrease in rating. After completion of system tests, you can also use Codeforces Rating Predictor.Thank you, I'll look into it. I hardcoded "congratulations" as I don't think anyone will wait obsessively for results of a contest which screwed up. But yes, I should. I'll update shortly.
thanks
Try earning 0 or 500 points only in a contest and you will wait for the inevitable :D not only you wait when expecting color change.
Now that you put it that way, yes! :P already updated :)
I think you should write better Announcement As Putting ScreenShot in the Post and Write details about The Script.
For The Script it's Very Good and Helpful :).
So what if ratings have been updated and somebody's rating change turned out to be 0? This would cause them to wait even after the ratings are updated.
Use number of contests from user contest page. whybee
I use this chrome extension: CF-Predictor and it gives me almost same rating as CF. You can try this. :)
Auto comment: topic has been updated by whybee (previous revision, new revision, compare).
I felt like I was reading a commercial. No offense just kidding :)
I felt I was reading a compliment. thanks :) more the number of people use what I wrote, happier I am!
