Code Golf Submission Repo

We will be using this repo to submit the code for codegolf on Saturday April 21, 2012.

Running the Harness

(not on linux? try harness_dumb.py)

by Example:

$ python harness.py -d ../hacsoc_code_golf/ -r /tmp/results/results.micro python index.py /tmp/reviews/reviews.micro 

by Format:

$ python harness.py -d <directory of you code> -r <path to results> [your program] <path to reviews>

Interface

command line arguments:

program path/to/reviews

example:

python index.py /tmp/reviews.micro

index phase

you can write anything you want to stderr and stdout EXCEPT > as soon as it sees a newline character the harness enters "query phase"

query phase

example code: (python)

sys.stdout.flush()
while True:
  sys.stdout.write('> '); sys.stdout.flush()
  try: inpt = sys.stdin.readline()
  except: break;
  if not inpt: continue
  inpt = clean(inpt)
  inpt = inpt.split()
  query(*inpt)
sys.stdout.flush()

what happens:

• you write a > to the stdout this is the "prompt"
• then you read a line from the stdin
• you do your query
• you collect all the revids put them in a list
• encode the list ["revid1", "revid2", ....] eg. as a json list
• write the encoded list to the stdout

Clean Function

def clean(text):
  return (
      text
      .lower()
      .replace('/', '')
      .replace('(', '')
      .replace(')', '')
      .replace(')', '')
      .replace(':', '')
      .replace('.', '')
      .replace(',', '')
      .replace(';', '')
      .replace(';', '')
      .replace('?', ' ?')
      .replace('!', ' !')
      .replace('-', ' - '))
