As a CS teacher in a College, I’d like to organize local contests between students only (that I continuously push to go practice here) during lecture weeks or holidays, or even during school time. I would then find very useful to be able to start “private local contest” based on existing multiplayer games just for a limited time and not a just in the wide list of contestants …
Obviously, students would be able to prepare themselves on the various existing multiplayer… but since they cannot predict which one I would choose, it could still be a good idea
I’d say, create a teacher account for you, then follow all your students, then pick a game / start date / end date, and just publish your “follower leaderboard” every morning until end date ?
Doing so you have a kind of “private leaderboard”.
teacher account ? Is that a recent thing I missed ?
Oh no, I understand, you mean a specific account I just use with my students … I don’t really need to do that as I have just students friends in here… but I have to create a new account for each group or flush all followees every new contest … I yeah that could be a workaround Thanks!
It’d still be cool to have a strat/end date feature in the leaderboard to extend it to that usage though
We often host several private contest for school, with custom dashboard (email, nickname, school year, ranking, custom fields) through CodinGame for Work.
Depending on your budget, it might be interesting to contact our sales department
I’m not sure how “legal” it is, but this step can even be automated and displayed on external page. CG website has a well made REST API, so it’s quite easy to export things like leaderboards.
