Project Overview

AbstracX is a comprehensive web application designed to facilitate competitive programming and coding challenges. Key features include:

• Creation and management of programming problems with customizable test cases
• Submission and evaluation of solutions in multiple programming languages
• Real-time disqualification, re-evaluation, and code review functionality
• Intuitive web interface for an optimal user experience

The project aims to provide a robust platform for coding enthusiasts, students, and professionals to hone their programming skills, participate in competitive events, and showcase their abilities.

Architecture and Design

AbstracX follows a client-server architecture, with a JavaScript-based frontend and a PHP/Python-powered backend. The system is designed with a focus on modularity, extensibility, and security. This allows for the easy addition of new programming languages, problem types, and features as the project evolves.

Technologies Used

The AbstracX project was developed using the following key technologies:

• Backend: PHP, Python
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Database: MySQL
• Containerization: Docker
• Continuous Integration: GitHub Actions
