I worked with and coordinated a team of four classmates to work on this site as my Grade 12 culminating project. It sorts, categorizes and displays contests from the last 30 years. I mainly worked on the PHP back-end, and was in charge of the part that automatically translates Turing solutions into Java.
The user can search for a contest by keyword. They can also search by category, or rank by year or difficulty.
The solution programs are usually given in Turing.
I wrote the PHP code that automatically translates programs like the one above into Java. It was done with regular expressions. I also had to keep track of the level of depth of the program.
