CODE QUEST is a gamified coding contest by the IEEE Student Branch, Sanjivani University. Progress through coding missions, spend hint coins, use power-ups, and climb a live leaderboard — every submission judged by a secure, isolated online judge.

Registration open to approved @sanjivani.edu.in / @sanjivani.org.in participants only.

The Quest

How the contest flows

01

Register & Login

Sign up with your approved PRN and institutional email. Log in with your PRN or email and acknowledge the rules in the contest lobby.

02

Open a Mission

The quest dashboard shows locked, available and solved missions. Open one to read the problem, write code in the editor, and submit.

03

Get Judged

Your code runs in an isolated sandbox against hidden test cases and returns a real verdict: Accepted, Wrong Answer, TLE, MLE, Runtime or Compile Error.

04

Spend Coins on Hints

Stuck? Buy tiered hints with your coin wallet. Each hint has a cost and may reduce that problem's max score — strategy matters.

05

Use Power-ups

Time Boost, Retry Shield and more. Applied server-side, logged, and never able to bypass the judge.

06

Face the Final Boss

Unlock the high-value advanced challenge, then watch the final leaderboard freeze and rankings lock in.

Gamified

Coding first, game mechanics on top

  • Hint coin economy

    Start with a coin balance. Every purchase is recorded server-side and reflected on your score.

  • Mission unlocks

    Progress-, time- and score-based unlock rules — configurable by organizers, never gated behind a single hard problem.

  • Server-authoritative timer

    The server is the source of truth for time, score, coins and unlocks. The browser is never trusted.

  • Isolated per-submission sandbox

    No network, read-only filesystem, dropped capabilities, and CPU/memory/time caps.

  • Hidden tests never exposed

    Test cases stay on the backend. The frontend only ever sees samples.

Contest Integrity

Fair play, monitored honestly

Proctoring logs tab switches, fullscreen exits, copy/paste and large-paste events for organizer review. Signals are used for review — never automatic disqualification. We're upfront: no browser can catch a second device or phone, so this pairs deterrence, detection and logging the way real assessment platforms do.
