It aims to introduce the Polygon platform to the new problem setters, and guide them through the basic steps on creating a new problem from scratch. In the post, I have explained the concepts and practices that a problem setter need to know in order to use Polygon to prepare problems.
The mission of Polygon is to provide platform for creation of programming contest problems. Polygon supports the whole development cycle: problem statement writing; test data preparing (generators supported) model solutions (including correct and wittingly incorrect) judging; automatic validation
Polygon.Codeforces Tutorial - A Guide to Problem Preparation [Part 1] 08 Mar 2022. This is the first part of my series on problem preparation for a programming contest. In this part, we are going to familiarize ourselves with Polygon -- a modern platform for this purpose in a professional way!
1. Polygon protects from errors. Polygon is full of automatization, self-checks and verifications. Some examples: it is hard to make a misprint in a sample input/output and forget to actualize it after the tests are changed as it is inserted automatically and the answer is generated by Polygon using the model solution;
Polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners (wiki).
A guide for creating Codeforces problems on Polygon. The problem creator generates test case inputs using a test case script, generator, and (optional) validator. When a contest participant submits his or her solution, a checker can be used to verify if their program's output has valid syntax.
