⚠️ Pool exams and new exams are being added, as well as the possibility of practicing Javascript and Typescript. ⚠️

This one will have the same behaviors as the real examshell:

• Updated with the new version of the exam in April 2022
• Several exercises can be available per level, chosen randomly
• Waiting times for correction are exponential
• Your rendering must be committed via git
• A moulinette will go over your code to check for forbidden functions, and possible leaks
• A trace is available when the exercise allows it
• Then your program will be compared with the real program

Some options have been added:

• Multilingual interface (currently available in French and English)
• Two options:
  • Infinite: Disables the timer, so the time is unlimited
  • Doom: To make your practice harder, if you fail the whole rendering folder is reset, as well as the associated git
