• Extensible: add your own challenges in JSON

---

Getting Started

1. Install Requirements

Install nyxbox via pip.

pip install nyxbox

Make sure you have clang++ or g++ installed, or Node.js for JavaScript if planning on using these langs, as NyxBox uses these to run your challenges written in C++ or JS.

2. Run the App

python3 main.py

Adding challenges

Add new challenges in the form of a JSON in the challenges directory. Challenges will not work if they do not follow the style of pre-made challenges.

Notes

• Python 3.10+ recommended (The dev is running 3.12.1)
• C++, C, and Java runners require system dependencies. If they error out, make sure you have those installed first. (look above dummy)
• Run in a terminal supporting Unicode and colors like Ghostty, Alacritty, or others.
