Authoring STACK-type questions using CodeRunner

CodeRunner is a Moodle plugin for programming assignments. However, after the plugin is deployed, it can be quite easily repurposed into a STACK-type math assignment checker with the checking logic implemented, e.g., in the Python language.

Example

After creating the CodeRunner question

# The equations are from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve
# I start with a line segment (0, 0) to (1, 0) and map the endpoints through f1 and f2.
# Then I have two segments (0, 0) to (0.5, 0.5) and (0.5, 0.5) to (1, 0).
# The endpoints are repeatedly mapped in the for-loop.

This is a remainder for myself because I need to run Mathematica once a year. Often the version I use is different from nixpkgs.

First you find a copy of Mathematica_12.1.0_LINUX.sh or similar and find its sha256sum. Then you go to nixpkgs and copy all Mathematica files to a local directory. You need to modify default.nix and wrap its contents into

let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
in pkgs.callPackage (

% Ever wanted to turn your latex article source into a quick beamer presentation?
% Add something like the following four lines to the beginning of your document:

%\documentclass{amsart}
%\renewenvironment{frame}{{}}
\documentclass[ignorenonframetext,red]{beamer}
\geometry{paperwidth=480pt,paperheight=300pt}

% Then those parts you want turned into slides wrap with \begin{frame} ... \end{frame}

Following environment allows compiling both:

nix-shell -p cmake openssl pkgconfig gst_all_1.gstreamer gst_all_1.gst-plugins-base gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good gst_all_1.gst-plugins-ugly gst_all_1.gst-plugins-bad pcre.dev avahi-compat gst_all_1.gst-libav libplist libunwind

However, I'm unable to connect with iPad or iPhone even after opening all ports on NixOS. WIP

These instructions create a conda-shell type of environment for running Julia 1.1. (Derivation originally from https://gist.github.com/tbenst/c8247a1abcf318d231c396dcdd1f5304).

Note: Some Julia packages may fail to install due to missing binary dependencies. The built-in package manager of Julia will normally install these for you but will fail in case of NixOS. You need to "simply" figure out what is missing and add them to the .nix-file.

1. Write the following expression to a file, e.g., julia-shell.nix:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}}:

let
jupyterPort = pkgs.config.jupyterPort;
