LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

I must be in the extreme minority, I always prefer light themes.

Basically recreated LeetCode on a $5&#x2F;month VPS lol. It started as a class project but over 800 people joined so I kept refining it for 2 months. It supports running Python, Java, and C++ code (building a code runner is tough). Give it a try and let me know what you think!<p>The code is also open-source too at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beatcode-official">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beatcode-official</a>

&quot;Runtime analysis? How is that possible?&quot; I thought...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beatcode-official&#x2F;server&#x2F;blob&#x2F;42169027dda3d0f0982ee56c39a295f54706be57&#x2F;app&#x2F;services&#x2F;execution&#x2F;runtime_analysis.py">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beatcode-official&#x2F;server&#x2F;blob&#x2F;42169027dda...</a>

I just wanted to mention another cool alternative<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neetcode.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neetcode.io&#x2F;</a><p>The author has a YouTube channel where he actually solves a lot of the problems step by step. Really cool as a learning resource

I use light mode when it&#x27;s light, and dark mode when it&#x27;s dark. Anything else results in either cooked retinas or excessive squinting.<p>It baffles me that anyone could be so wedded to their theme that they would use dark at midday in a well-lit office or vice versa.

I &quot;grew up&quot; coding in bog-standard light mode decades ago, and I guess it just stayed with me? Still do it that way.<p>EDIT: If you&#x27;re gonna be devious, just force people to code with blue font over black background.

In my universe, the only permitted background colors for programming editors are NeXT white, SGI pastel yellow, and Turbo Pascal blue.

&gt; but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode<p>As I&#x27;ve aged my preferences have moved away from dark themes to light themes.<p>I used to have everything in dark mode: terminal, IDE, sublime text, use Dark Reader Chrome extension.<p>But I can&#x27;t see shit anymore. I need light!

It’s a fun idea but the ability gimmick makes me not interested. I imagine it will also quickly be overrun by AI copy&#x2F;pasters.

Kinda insane how this post I made for my project got viral. Got a tons of feedbacks and I just want to thank everyone here for checking it out. Really means a lot for a student trying to build cool stuff :)

I&#x27;m just here to praise the &quot;Login as guest&quot;. Thank you !!

just tried to play a round, the answer checker failed because it compares the results with `result == eval(expected)`, where `expected` is `&quot;true&quot;`, which is not a thing in Python.

This seems like a fun thing, could it be used for a hackathon type style of event with say group participants up to ~100? I&#x27;d love to see some hackathons.

The &quot;freezio&quot; ability seems more like a power up, than a roadblock. Imagine people actually read what they wrote.

I don&#x27;t see where it says that.<p>Regardless, is that forcing an inverse color scheme on someone supposed to prove something valuable?

A bunch of wimps for not going back to actual VT220 green phosphor terminals. Lol.

Going for &quot;deletio&quot; too many times causes the JS to go into a loop.<p>Still, fun.

The magic elements are a fun idea!

Solarized Light 4 Life lol<p>Dark mode always strained my eyes like crazy. White bg is too much. Solarized Light works best for me.
