NYCSL

NYCSL, or the New York Computer Science League, is an online, high school programming competition. NYCSL2 is a rewrite of the original codebase with a focus on sustainability and newer tools (switching from PHP to Flask, from JQuery to React, etc).

Each month at midnight a new challenge is posted. Programmers in NYCSL have one month to upload as many solutions as they like; only the top score is shown. Solutions are instantly graded and put up on both global and school-wide leaderboards. Problems are designed such that they are suitable for programmers of all skill levels; beginners are encouraged to participate.

Installation
