Google Code Jam Statistics Update
By vstrimaitis, 5 years ago, In English

Hey!

So last year I implemented a simple web page for viewing some statistics of Google Code Jam. All of you had some great suggestions for improvements, but unfortunately I didn’t get around to actually add them in. Well, since GCJ is back, I finally decided to implement at least some of the suggestions! Here’s what was added:

  • Links to problems of the round
  • Links to submissions of each participant (in the results table)
  • Grouping of links to the competitions, since the sidebar was starting to get cluttered

I also spent some time updating all dependencies, but that does not reflect (or should not) reflect in the page itself. There are of course more important things left to do, so let’s hope I actually get around to those some day :)

Anyway, results of the recent Qualification Round have been added to the page, so feel free to look around and analyse. Also, if you have any more comments or suggestions, I’d be glad to hear them out or accept a PR!

Very neat website! Good job. Can you please add FHC(Facebook hackercup) here?

    I’ve never examined if FB has some similar API exposed, but I could definitely look into that some time.

    I tried to accessast year’s FHC leaderboard (“Everyone” tab), but after going a couple of pages deep, the scoreboard broke and didn’t display any more results. I’ll check it out some other time, since maybe it’s broken right now for some reason.

Nice! Just curious, since frontend is in TypeScript, why not use Node.js + Fetch for fetching the data too instead of relying on another language like Python.

    That would certainly be possible. I guess it comes down to personal preference. Also, when I first wrote the python scripts I wasn’t planning to make the website — that came as an afterthought :)
