Solving Kattis problems is a fun task, but it can be a cucumbersome task to prepare for a problem. So here is a small scripts that given an url of a kattis problem:

• Creates a folder with the name of the problem
• Creates a readme.md (for git mostly, with name and url)
• Downloads the sample data and extracts into /sample-data
• Creates a file, with standard content for solving the task, eg. for now python (solver.py)
• A small video https://gyazo.com/c3362741db8acd10e7d106fbdd25c45a

In your terminal run, were the argument is the url of a open.kattis.com problem:

python3 kattis_helper.py https://open.kattis.com/problems/listgame

• Python3.5 (test with 3.8)
• pip install requests
