Is it possible to get the Euler site PHP code?

[angelv]

Hi,

I didn't find any place where this question would fit better, so here it goes...

Is it possible to get the PHP code that brings the projecteuler.net site to life? I just joined recently and I've been doing some of the problems, and I find it very entertaining. At our workplace we are going to organize something like the project Euler competition, but the problems should be a little different, so basically I would like to recreate the Project Euler site at our Intranet, but with our own set of problems.

Thanks in advance,
Ángel

Hi,

a while ago I posted this, but nobody replied

We have already started a private similar-to-project-euler project at our company, but so far we don't have a decent web application to host the problems, and to offer a forum to only those who already solved the problem, so I try again...

Is it possible to get the Euler site PHP code to run in our intranet? Or anyone has any suggestions on how to get something similar without the need of coding it ourselves from the ground up?

Many thanks,
Angel

Some remarks,

although some see Project Euler as a competition in fact it isn't.

The problem is that the software that runs PE is made by one person and has grown over the years.
It was never intended to be used by others without detailed knowledge of its workings or the availablility of documentation.
Making it available in general at least would require writing detailed documentation about how to maintain it and probably alter it. Also it would require being available for questions about its workings should the installation cause any problems.
Moreover the software is adapted to our current need of available resources. Your need of available resources might need another configuration.
The person that wrote the software has chosen not to spend his time on all this kind of things.
So presumably the answer is No.

Hi,

yes, I don't know why I wrote "competition". In fact, our local project is sold to our staff as a kind of algorithms course, for which I'm mostly responsible.

I understand the caveats, but in our case I think it could save us some PHP coding time. I understand it comes with no documentation, it might not be as readable as one would want, it comes with no support, etc. If the coder is happy to share the code "AS IS", I would be really grateful and he/she won't get any questions from me about the code. In the worst case, if I cannot make anything with the code, I'll be where I'm now ...

Thanks,
Angel
