Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Leverage the I Run Code bot to actually execute code, time it out, etc.
• Require the first line of output to be a specific token
• Write custom logic to process the output to match test cases

Describe alternatives you've considered

Running all this manually is possible, but not ideal

Additional context

Participant Use Case

1. User submits code via a spike command and an identifier for the competition ~(via DM?)~ use a normal channel, but delete the original message
2. Spike in the background runs code using piston, supplying test cases as STDIN
3. Spike determines if output is what's expected and informs user if it passes or not.
4. Spike Bucks prize for those who get it; bonus bucks for the first
