Abstract
This paper presents a tool called Mooshak ProblEm Creator (Moopec) for facilitating the creation of programming exercises for a web-based multi-site programming contest system called Mooshak [Leal and Silva, 2003]. Users only need to create a text file for specifying all the information concerning problems including their description, tests and user feedback. This tool provides ways of automating most tasks involved in creating problems in Mooshak and, consequently, increases teachers' productivity. Moopec allows instructors to quickly create problem sets by simply editing a text file. Moopec is implemented in Python and is available at https://github.com/rcm/mooshak_problem_creator.
