About CodePals


Security

CodePals uses Docker for virtual containers to run code in safe isolated environments. No need to worry about breaking anything, or anyone else breaking your environment!

Standard Input

Standard Input (std::cin, Console.ReadLine(), etc...) is not supported and may produce unexpected results. We understand this may be inconvenient but encourage hardcoded inputs in replacement if needed.

Point System

Points are used to give others a token of appreciation for contributing or helping in any way. An admin can only give a max of 10 points per environment, and must be divided amongst the users being rewarded.

GitHub vs Guest

You can login via GitHub with OAuth2 security

Using GitHub provides a few benefits such as:

  • Custom GitHub username
  • Direct link to your GitHub page on profile
  • No worries about user sessions ending and losing your guest account
  • Priority for features with future updates

  • We hope that you consider using your GitHub account if you have one, but no pressure! A guest can do just about everything a GitHub user can. Just know that a guest session typically ends when closing your browser, and points do not carry over!
