Introduction

Competitive programming tool (abbrevated to cpt) is a cross platform, standalone command line software that automates the mundane steps in CP, greatly aiding you in contests (especially where time is a factor to your rank).

The project aims to be user friendly, easily customizable and feature rich, while preventing feature bloating or complicated user interface. We promise to never collect any kind of user information, ever.

• Beautiful user interface, with colorized messages.
• Extensively customisable settings (in YAML format).
• Versatile, blazingly fast, yet lightweight (5 MB binary).
