Kata Discord Bot

Resources

Idea overview

A discord bot that posts a daily "Kata". These should be short programming problems that can be solved in <1 hour. They could be Elixir specific, but I think it might be more useful for them to be "general" story problems that require you to implement some kind of basic programming algorithm then you CAN use Elixir to solve it but other languages would work too. I think making them general and not specific may make this bot useful for more than just this discord. Of course, the actual bot will be written in Elixir. The problems should be in the format of;

  • Story Question
  • Restrictions
  • Optional Bonus Restrictions
  • Input (This can be plain text or a link to a text file)
  • Expected Output (Hidden with a spoiler or something)
  • Here would be an example;

Problem

Being the good person you are, you decided help your local library digitize a bunch of old books, magazines, ect. for archiving purposes. They've collected all sorts of texts and apparently someone thought it would be useful to archive a bunch of old phone books. Luck you, they already scanned them all and ran them through a image-to-text AI that generated a text file containing the data! Unlucky for you, it jumbled up the ordering so all the phone numbers got mixed up. Could you be a pal and sort them?

Restrictions

You cannot use any external or built in sorting functions.

Bonus

Write one with quick sort and one with bubble sort. Which one is faster?

Input

[333-333-3333, 111-111-1111, 222-222-2222]

Expected

![111-111-1111, 222-222-2222, 333-333-3333]

Pots

Resources

Idea overview

Provide some wrapper funtionality around initializing new Dockerfiles for Elixir projects and running them. There should also be a basic config file that Pots will read in and use for generating the file and running certain tasks.

For instance, if you want the mix pot.new task to create a Dockerfile that includes certain ARG or ENV variables. The following commands are currently supported;

  • mix pot.new generate inital Dockerfile
  • mix pot.build build the image from the Dockerfile
  • mix pot.run to run the image detached mode
  • mix pot.clean to remove all docker images/containers. Can be passed --file to clean up generated Dockerfiles.
  • mix pot.info to print information on the created images and running containers.
