Competition Task Overview
This challenge is expected to improve the information returned for the given problems, like open time, number of previous submissions, score for last solution.
In SRMs or Practice Rooms, when opennin a problem, it will send com.topcoder.netCommon.contestantMessages.request.OpenComponentForCodingRequest
and the backend will return
- com.topcoder.netCommon.contestantMessages.response.GetProblemResponse
- com.topcoder.netCommon.contestantMessages.response.OpenComponentResponse
The GetProblemResponse mainly return the information about the problem to be working on, and the OpenComponentResponse will return the information about the user solution, like code etc.
For this challenge, we'd like to return more informations about users' working status for the problem.
Following information should be returned in OpenComponentResponse.
- open time for the problem
- number of previous submissions
- Score for the last solution.
Please make sure the information is returned for Problems in SRMs and Practice Rooms.
Verification
You can follow the SRM Problem Guide to carry out the standard verification process. Let me know if you need any more clarification.
About VMs
Before asking your own VM, you need to have a public key on your profile before asking for the VM.
You can find more details on how to generate a key http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/projects/Generate+SSH+Key and how to connect using it http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/projects/Connect+Using+SSH+Key.
Please follow https://github.com/appirio-tech/arena-web/wiki/How-to-Deploy-and-Start-Services-in-VM to make your changes take affect.
Previously, we have made several update for the Arena VM. So when the Arena VM allocated is available for you, there is a problem and a SRM contest already setup, you can reuse that for testing.
