Installation

General installation process is only available for Linux operating system, Windows version is coming soon. But now, you can use this tool in windows by changing some lines of source code.

sudo apt install curl

• Download uva-tool: Execute command

git clone https://github.com/arafat-hasan/uva-tool.git

• Install uva-tool: In the downloaded folder uva-tool, look for install.sh file and execute it (C++ compiler needed here, GNU g++ used in testing).

chmod +x install.sh 
./install.sh

Troubleshooting

Your system may not able to use getlogin() function which is used in src/uva-tool.cpp file for szHome constant. In that case set szHome constant to your operating system's username.

Get you login username using command whoami or echo $USERNAME.

Now set szHome const

const string szHome = "username";

Usage Example

Run corresponding commands

• Login: uva-tool -login
• Logout: uva-tool -logout
• Hunt: uva-tool -hunt -u felix_halim -r 10
  This will show last 10 submissions of user felix_halim
• Submit: Syntax uva-tool -submit problem_number problem_path language
  Example uva-tool -submit 100 ~/Desktop/100.cpp 5
  This will submit 100.cpp named file from Desktop directory in C++11 (5 for C++11) language with problem number 100.

Note: Language codes 1 for ANSI, 2 for JAVA, 3 for C++, 4 for Pascal, 5 for C++11, 6 for Python.

Integrate with VIM

Copy vim_uva-tool_run_script.sh file to your .vim directory and add this lines to .vimrc file

map <leader>uvw :!clear && uva-tool -hunt -u felix_halim -r 10
map <leader>uvs :!clear && ~/.vim/vim_uva-tool_run_script.sh '%:p'<CR>
map <leader>uvi :!uva-tool -login
map <leader>uvo :!uva-tool -logout

Keyboard mappings
\uvs to submit
\uvw to hunt
\uvi to login
\uvo to logout

Integrate with Geany

Copy geany_uva-tool_run_script.sh file to /home/$USER/.config/geany/uva-tool directory and run command chmod +x geany_uva-tool_run_script.sh.

Now in geany (open a file i.e a cpp file first), go to Build -> Set Build Commands, a window opens. In Execute commands section at no 2, set this Command, Working directory and Label
Command: ./geany_uva-tool_run_script.sh '%f' '%d'
Working directory: /home/$USER/.config/geany/uva-tool
Label: uva-tool

Now all set.
Click on Build -> uva-tool for submitting, huntting etc.

It's not a good idea to run a script in command execution section of geany for running uva-tool instead of writing a geany plugin, but a easy good hack. And I have no plan to write a geany plugin for that in future. Anyone who interested, warmly welcomed with MIT licenses.

To Do

• Bring Windows version
• Show user statistics in hunting
• Use a C++ networking library instead of cURL
• Make command line options more dynamic
