For example, look here. There are no links to the code of Delay(-1). I suppose they have unchecked the "Show Team's Code For Past Contests" box. But if I go here, I can still access their code. The 723 is their team ID (the same number appears in the URL of the team profile), the 61 is the same for everyone, the 0 is their submission number, and it's often possible to guess the filename -- something like dwite1 or p1 followed by an ordinary language extension like .cpp, .pas, or .java. |

Thanks for sharing. Honestly, I think having a feature to hide code is pointless. If it is just for training then what is the point? Looking at others code is a really great way to learn. Like from last round, I learned a lot just from looking at the code from p5. |

This is a known issue, and i have been meaning to fix it but it is a low priority compared to things like making the judge run faster. Personally i would rather have all teams code viewable witch is how the system used to work but due to some complaints we added the hack to just not show the links. |
