OMORI CONTEST Announcement
By Hexagons, 7 weeks ago, In English

Assalamualaikum (peace be upon you), Codeforces people 👋.

I'm glad to invite you to the mashup OMORI CONTEST which will be held inshallah on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 19:30 (GMT+3).

You will be given 3.5 hours (210 minutes) to solve 7 cool problems in an ICPC-styled contest, themed about the videogame OMORI (Which is a great game that you might want to give a try). There will be exactly one interactive problem, so I suggest you should read the guide for interactive problems.

All problems have been written and prepared by me, Hexagons.

I would like to give a lot of thanks to:

  • MikeMirzayanov for the great codeforces and polygon systems 👍, without them I wouldn't be able to make the contest.

  • ismail-but-noob, 3mara, Mr.Pie, AhmedOsamaEzz, ahmedfouadnew, AbdelmagedNour for valuable testing and feedback, they made sure the problems were good enough and the test cases were strong 👏.

  • ismail-but-noob again, for helping me in preparing an interactor on polygon, without him there would be no interactive problem 😅.

  • OMOCAT, for creating OMORI ⭐.

  • yahia, for letting me play OMORI on his laptop 💚.

  • All my friends who supported me while making this contest 💓.

  • You for joining this contest 😊.

Good luck to all participants!

I Hope you enjoy the contest and have fun solving the problems 😊.

what does held inshallah mean? how is it different from just being held?

Edit: nvm I looked it up. It is smart that you put that there. You never want to jinx yourself, cuz anything can really happen at any time.

    Ofcourse you can but if sunny isn't awake then be careful omori is in the whitespace and if he sees you using his computer you might get stabbed!

Why didn't you enter the contest into the actual contest queue, and hold an official contest? Not saying you should've done that, I'm just wondering.

    I heard that contests stay for like two years or something on this queue till it gets either accepted or rejected. I don't want to hold an "official" contest, I just want to make a good contest themed about the theme I want, with good problem ideas I proposed, and people enter my contest and give feedback. Just that.

    Plus, the style of the problems is not really fitting for a casual codeforces round.

I didn't really like B and F since they feel kind of standard (and I also could not implement rerooting correctly LOL), but the other problems were nice.

Thanks for the problems! Omori is a great game.
