Reconstructing Old A2oj Ladders with new problems
By codemastercpp, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hello CF,

UPD:

Sorry for necropost(?), but I had a lot of DMs about website being down, so I've updated it.

But the old link is invalid now, and it is hosted at: https://c2-ladders-juol.onrender.com

Thnx

I've seen a lot of people say very good things about a2oj ladders but I never used it because the problems in it are very old, as it was constructed by ahmed_aly 4-5 years ago, so I decided to try to recreate the ladders with updated data of codeforces, especially because nowadays CF is quite ad-hoc (and I like it:D).

I mostly followed the same procedure as described here, with some little changes, one of them being not having 800 rated problem in 1500 ladders, these ladders are based on problem rating. You can visit the website here https://c2-ladders.com

If you want to learn more about how I did it, I've uploaded a video on how I constructed it, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/xQuNwSFi4Ag

The website and the script both are open sources, feel free to make a PR if you want some change or just tell me in comments.

Website: https://github.com/prince776/c2ladders

Script: https://github.com/prince776/scripts-yt/tree/master/ladder

Here's a preview

Why C2Ladders? Well it stands for codemastercpp's codeforces ladders.

Small suggestion: I noticed that all of the problems in "< x" ladder are of rating "x — 100", so maybe just rename them to "x — 100" instead?

      like 900-1000,1000-1100 i guess thats what he meant just like a2oj did , looked nice

      Also if you would add a small number showing over the tab that how many had i solved and make a slide green line like a2oj which increases as you solve questions from that section

        oh ok, but shouldn't it be like 1200-1299, since 1300 is not included?

        He probably meant what he has written, write 800, 900, 1000, ..., 3400, and 3500 instead of <900, <1000, <1100, ..., <3500, and <3600.

Thank you for reconstructing the ladders.

The ladder also has a minor issue: it includes the same problem twice. For example, the problem Dreamoon Likes Coloring appears twice in the 1800 ladder.

Many contests can separate divisions. Usually, different divisions can share some common problems, i.e., Div.1 A can be similar to Div.2 C. My suggestion is to come up with some unique identifier for a problem. The identifier could be a pair of (name, rating).

    Actually there are different problems with same name, rating, I've deployed some changes to filter out based on name, contestId where contestId checks adjacent contests.

What does the term frequency means? I don't think that's the submisson count right?

    Ig it only counts for users whose rating increases by at least 150 within 6 months time frame after solving that particular problem.

Hi, just a suggestion, can you make it so the webpage opens to a unique link when you enter you username and/or are in a particular difficulty section, how i open your site is through bookmarks on my browser and i have to navigate the site a bit each time to get to my settings ( i.e. inputting handle and selecting difficulty) if the url became something like https://c2-ladders.com/users/amarnathsama?difficulty=1800 then it would open at once, like this on Codeforces 1800 difficulty problems.

Also, really awesome site, this is my go to site now for practicing!

    I guess, it means how many correct submissions for this problem have been recorded during the contest.
