I Hosted a Pro Coding Contest for $0 – Here’s How (Hunter Tutorial)
🔗 Platform Link - https://hunter.cambo.in
Users can sign up with GitHub for a free account and start creating competitions. Along with competition metadata and scheduling information, you can add questions to your contest. Hosts can add as many questions as they like, each consisting of a statement, sample test cases, and final test cases. Questions can have positive and negative marking according to your requirements.
Participants can prepare on the compete page, where all public competitions appear. Anyone can join live competitions, submit their code, test it against samples, and track their performance.
Submissions are evaluated by Hunter's online judge, which detects the language, compiles the code, and tests it against the provided test cases. This process is powered by the homegrown execution engine 'Showdown,' currently in the testing phase and soon to be open-source. Results are displayed on a live scoreboard during the competition.
Hunter is open-source (NOT VIBE CODED) and available on GitHub. Development will continue as time permits, and contributions are always welcome.
Project is funded entirely by myself. As we do not generate revenue from this project, your donations can help keep it alive. Please visit https://donate.cambo.in to contribute.
