@ep1cfunny Sorry, the automation was not completely automated and is no longer active. We do hope to release the source code for the tools sometime in the next few weeks, which you could use to evaluate traces.

@prozacchiwawa Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed the contest!

Full Contest 1st Place Winner: Team Unagi Rust is the programming language of choice for discriminating hackers. #icfpcontest2018

Congratulations to the ICFP Programming Contest 2018 winners!

Enjoy some bonus content! Disappointed with only 40X speedups? Try setting an arbitrary number of initial seeds. Want faster animations? Try disabling the (sometimes slow) groundedness checking. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

One hour left in the Full Contest! icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

Full Contest Live Standings have been frozen (and will, with time, be updated with scores from all problems). The secondary submission system has been enabled. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

Due to the high number of Lock timeout errors near the Lightning Division deadline, we have prepared a secondary submission system for use at the Full Contest deadline. Details in the News section of the contest homepage. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

Good luck to all teams during the last 24hrs of the ICFP Programming Contest 2018! icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

@sasharush The Lightning Division Live Standings were frozen at 2018-07-21T10:00Z; Final Standings will be announced at ICFP'18.

If you did not get a Lightning Division submission in after 15:45, then please continue to try to submit; we'll accept for a few minutes after the deadline to accommodate the timeouts.

Added a visual distinction between Low harmonics (darker floor) and High harmonics (lighter floor). May need to clear browser cache to reload the JS files. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

The Full Contest Live Standings are resumed and should be updating once every 15 minutes. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

The Full Contest Live Standings are paused while investigating slow updates; submission acknowledgments are resumed and should be updating once every 15 minutes. icfpcontest2018.github.io #icfpcontest2018

Initial submission acknowledgments and live standings for the Full Contest have been posted; should be automatically updating approximately every 15min. icfpcontest.github.io #icfpcontest2018

@tau_phoenix Submission acks refreshed with fixed checks against slack time.

@tau_phoenix Thnx. Minor error on our side; we'll update with the modified lightning division buffer time.

A "Lock timeout: another process was holding the lock for too long." error means high contention. Apply the Golden Rule: only submit as often as you would want others to submit.
