Hash Browns,
Our goals with CodeChef are to challenge and engage the developer community as well as provide a platform for competition and improvement. We’ve heard from many people that when they get a wrong answer or time limit exceeded they aren’t sure how to debug their submissions. We are working on a few ways to improve this:
For our April Contest, we will also be experimenting with another major change. After the contest is over we will make all code submissions for problems within that contest, publicly available. Eventually we plan to allow comments on individual submissions as well. We hope this will allow less experienced developers to learn from their peers and generally promote knowledge sharing. We look forward to hearing your feedback on these initiatives.
Cheers,
The Chef

Whether or not the interactive mode should be enabled for the relative scoring problem should be given a careful thought. This can have subtle effects on the competition which may not be immediately obvious.
I suppose the same is true for other problems, but it’s a more important issue with the relative scoring one.
Of course, if interactive mode is enabled only for the practice problems, then these questions don’t arise.

Publish the codes!!! That’s a wonderful move…

It would be really great if one would know for which input test case the program failed to produce a correct answer.
This way one can know if the approach used is correct. At least this should be available for the practice problems and for past contest problems. This will help people(particularly students-like me ;)) to understand where the student went wrong.

It’s really getting better now. Coding was never this interesting before!
Cheers !!!

Hi,
If you click on the contest landing page: http://www.codechef.com/APRIL09/, and then a problem (i.e. http://www.codechef.com/APRIL09/problems/A5/), then all submissions (top right button: http://www.codechef.com/APRIL09/status/A5/), you can then click on any ID to see that persons submission. We are working on making this easier and more intuitive.
Cheers,
The Chef
