Competitive Programming

(VSCode version of bqi343's USACO)

Template Modifications

• CPH extension compiles with LOCAL on, terminal compiles with this off.
• Snippets are generated using a modified version of ben's python script.

How to use

Generating the vscode snippets: Navigate to /templates/ and then proceed to run py -3 genTemplate.py

Making files:

Files are generated with the following command arguments:

-f - files separated by commas, will place them by default in the /contest/ folder. For example make -f 1,2,3 makes files 1.cpp, 2.cpp, 3.cpp

-l - file template lengths separated by commas, will place them by default. The template lengths are v, s, l which stand for VERYSHORT,SHORT,LONG - corresponding to the files placed in /templates/.

By default, if using -f alone, -f will default to using the v length setting.

If the amount of lengths given is less than the files, make automatically pads the files using the v length setting. This can be changed by going into make.py and changing 'l'

while len(LENGTHS) < len(FILES):
    LENGTHS.append('l')

Add make.bat to path, then you can run the file from anywhere using make. Ex. make -f 1,2,3. Make sure that the files are separated by commas and are in one string.
