Objective

To build an interactive coding platform where students solve programming problems to unlock progressively harder challenges, promoting skill development, algorithmic thinking, and gamified learning.

Key Features

Student Panel:

• Secure registration and login

• Access a library of programming challenges sorted by difficulty (Beginner → Advanced)

• Solve coding problems in real-time using an integrated code editor

• Unlock higher-level challenges upon successful completion of previous ones

• View instant feedback, hints, and test case results

• Earn points, badges, and XP for completed challenges

• Track progress, leaderboard ranking, and performance analytics

Admin Panel:

• Add, edit, or remove coding challenges with difficulty levels

• Define test cases, constraints, and expected outputs

• Monitor student progress, submissions, and completion rates

• Generate analytics: most solved challenges, average solve time, student rankings

• Moderate submissions to detect plagiarism or code misuse

Tech Stack

Workflow (Step-by-Step)

1. User Registration & Login

• Students sign up or log in securely

• Access dashboard showing available coding challenges

2. Challenge Selection & Unlocking

• Beginners start with initial unlocked challenges

• Completion of a challenge unlocks the next difficulty level

• Optional hints available for partial points

3. Code Submission & Evaluation

• Students write code in the integrated editor

• Submit code which is run against predefined test cases

• Receive instant feedback: Passed/Failed test cases, errors, or runtime messages

4. Scoring & Progression

• Points awarded based on correctness, efficiency, and time taken

• XP and badges given for streaks or completing all challenges in a level

• Unlock progressively harder challenges as XP thresholds are reached

5. Leaderboard & Analytics

• Leaderboard shows top scorers, fastest solvers, and streak leaders

• Admins can view engagement metrics, difficulty trends, and student performance

6. Optional Features

• Multiplayer coding duels or timed competitions

• Team challenges for collaborative coding

• Daily or weekly coding quests

• Integration with gamified XP, achievements, and badges
