   Sure in this case you better send them the 5$, nevertheless please share this with friends or colleagues that may want to give their contribution while having fun for half an hour. By the way, if you're an experienced programmer the solutio

   Yup, your script should receive the path to a single file, not a wildcard. I'll take a look at the logs. :) Thanks for your feedback.

   It's a fairly easy puzzle, for an average programmer it should take at most half an hour. Give it a shot :)

    I wrote a note on the post but it doesn't seem to show up. We have the puzzles for sysadmins in beta and we're looking for beta testers, send us your coderloop username to info@coderloop.com and we'll enable the feature for your account.

    thanks, I've posted the video because the sysadmin puzzles are not yet available to every user the video shows how they work, any feedback/comment is welcome :)

    Hi, I'm the founder of Coderloop.com, a programming competition platform. Our platform is able to test user submitted programs against a problem spec. We also support specs that require the user to write a program that interacts with an HTT

    Cool, this one is a very good idea actually, a user generated database of test cases for each puzzle! I'm putting it in our backlog, thank you very much!

    In theory it can be done, but it would be very expensive in terms of computational power. Anyway, you raised a very good point that we will keep in mind for the near future. Thanks indeed for your feedback and the nice discussion.

    Thanks! The code is executed by an "host" script with a system call, not sure if this breaks the __main__ function in python. We will look into that issue. :)

    Ok but here the point is not about technology, it's very easy for us to give you access to the output of your program (in fact if you use a compiled language, and the compilation phase breaks, we show you the log). The point is that any kin

    I'm sorry for that, we're going to add support for 2.7 very soon!

    Hi, I understand your point. The problem with the feedback is that if we tell you for which inputs we're testing your solution, you could develop an optimized version of the solution for those special case, or worse you could precompute the

    Sure, we can add any language that have an open source compiler/interpreter. I've added Prolog to our backlog. Stay tuned!

    Great! Soon we will integrate everything in one single page so you don't have to leave the editor to get the feedback on your submission.

    The problem with this is that the most difficult puzzles usually have few submissions, so the ratio between pass/tries is not meaningful. We've been thinking about asking the users to rate the difficulty level of the puzzles once they solve

    interesting idea, how will you measure the "length"? just how many characters the source code is made of? we could make a competition out of it...

    We're working on a way to submit code without the need to register. However the service want to be a community where developers compete against each other and earn points, that's why we ask them to create profile. We try to lower the barrie

    yes that's the idea, and you can compete with other people to create the most efficient solution. This is new because the purpose of project euler is only to create a correct solution...

    hi, the forums are already available, there's one for each puzzle, at the bottom of each puzzle page (i.e. http://www.coderloop.com/puzzles/helloworld ) they're a bit hidden, in the next design phase we will give them better visibility

    Thanks, we needed a set of problems to start with and we've used some Euler problems as the basis even thought we slightly changed the problems to be more generic (the input is unknown) so that users are forced to write a generic solution.
