Hi, is there a way to edit existing puzzles so as to add cover art, standardize tag names, and similar kinds of maintenance? I would imagine it’s locked away somewhere, except for my own contributions which I can access of course.
You need to fulfil the conditions to have editor rights first. Refer to here for more details. Also, if you’re considering to edit others’ puzzles, it’s good practice to seek the author’s prior permission.
Certainly, seek approval first, no problem! I do have editor rights for classic puzzles pending approval. Probably I had reached level 29 at some point. But where do I find the contribution page for puzzles that have already been approved? There used to be a tool at https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/ but it’s no longer live.
Erm… What do you mean? You’re level 26 right now. Maybe you were looking at a clash of code contribution?
You’ll have to either use the filter on the contributions page to filter for approved puzzles, or write your own code to search CodinGame’s puzzle database. If your level is high enough, you should also see a link to the contribution view above the statement of every puzzle.
OK thanks, I just need to level up then. Maybe I was confused because my ranking had fallen when I stopped competing in clashes. Progression should never go down a level.
There are two different concepts here. If you check your profile, you have your level (based on your XP), and you also have your ranking (based on your CodinPoints, aka CP). The former is gained mostly from (but not limited to) finishing puzzles, while the latter is gained from doing well in competitions such as clash of code, bot programming puzzles and contests. Your level never drops while your ranking can fluctuate from day to day.
Level, not ranking, is relevant in the right to edit puzzles.
Yes, a.k.a “progression” as it’s labeled.
