Most of the university level programming competitions are organized as a team contest in Bangladesh. Just like all other universities, senior students of IUT also face problem during team formation as a systematic evaluation system for contests are not available. So, we tried to develop this project which could remedy the situation by scraping the ranklist of team formation contest and creating a generalized rating for each student.
This project was developed for our Software Engineering and Relational Database Management System Lab. Some of the core features are:
- Our system was designed to scrape ranklist from three different judges -- Codeforces -- Vjudge -- Toph
- Our system can ensure division system. It has two divisions for students based on rating. It has facilities to add contests based on division.
- Our system can ensure if the contest is mandatory for some division of students then, if a student does not participate, then he gets penalized
- Our system maintains the division of each student automatically
- After each contest, the system generates a rating based on ELO rating system
Our project has two modules. Front end User Interface and backend web scraper and rating generator. These modules are explained below:
Our user interface was designed using a python library named TKinter. Tkinter is a hardcoded UI library.
In our backend, we used BeautifulSoup for webscraping and Cx_Oracle for storing data in Oracle Database. We also used Oracle Databse and plSQL for procedural SQL.
- First install the dependancies. To install dependancies write:
pip3 install requirement.txt - Then, to run the project simply run using:
python3 welcomepage.py
Then the project will be up and running.
Some snapshot for our UI is given below:
