----------------------------------- Aidin Kashigar Sun Apr 10, 2005 4:57 pm Links for those interested in Computer Contests ----------------------------------- I've compiled a list of websites that might help those interested in computer competitions. I'm probably missing many good ones so, post your favourites: USA Computing Olympiad: Well-structured and sequential; it covers most of the topics that show up in the Canadian Computing Competition. http://ace.delos.com/usacogate Canadian Computing Competition: Most of you probably know about this one. Has all the problems from the 1st and 2nd stage of CCC from the very beginning. For solutions, check the next site. http://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/ccc/past/previous_contests.shtml Solutions to CCC: This site has good solutions to all the 1st stage problems in CCC. Would have been better if they covered the 2nd stage too. http://access.mmhs.ca/ccc/index.htm International Olympiad of Informatics: Has links to all the previous IOI problems + solutions. Problems are much harder than CCC 1st and 2nd stage. http://olympiads.win.tue.nl/ioi/ _____________________________________________________ TopCoder: Weekly competitions. Has two different divisions with very easy to very hard problems. The problems are usually original, at least to me, and solutions are posted a few days after each competition. Prizes are awarded, in case you need some motivation. http://www.topcoder.com/tc _____________________________________________________ UVA Online Judge: Contains problems from ACM programming competitions and different local competitions. It is a bit more difficult to get used to but has lots of problems. http://acm.uva.es/problemset/ Programming Challenges: Contains problems from the UVA online judge, carefully placed into different chapters. Each chapter focuses on an essential algorithm or topic and is followed up by a list of problems from the UVA judge. The chapters can be found in a book with the same name or at http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~skiena/392/audio/ and the website is located at http://www.programming-challenges.com/ _____________________________________________________ Enjoy! ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:36 pm ----------------------------------- not bad, i like http://access.mmhs.ca/ccc/index.htm ----------------------------------- Aidin Kashigar Sun Apr 10, 2005 9:29 pm ----------------------------------- Yeh, that's a good site. But it's only stage 1. I think there should be a website with solutions to the 2nd stage too. Maybe you and Richard could help me out in making one. ----------------------------------- thegoose Mon Apr 11, 2005 6:10 am ----------------------------------- Yeh, that's a good site.

I have working code to all of them on my comp....just got to find them. Where do you plan to put the site? Also, how do you plan to get the test data? ----------------------------------- Aidin Kashigar Mon Apr 11, 2005 6:53 am ----------------------------------- The site, I have no idea. We can find something when the time comes. And the test data, I guess we'll have to get it from the source himself :P ----------------------------------- lordofall Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:54 pm ----------------------------------- hehe thats my teachers site. And the only reason he doesn't do stage 2 is cause our school never gets there :P hopefully i'll fix that (6) tho prolly not :( lol ah well!
