Leetcode-GameRoom

This Chrome extension helps you practice solving problems on Leetcode. Install it from Chrome WebStore : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/leetcode-gameroom/bhfcnklncejdhdppjljnapnjoljhgane

Motive behind Creating This Extension

One of the disadvantages of blindly solving problems on Leetcode is that people tend to overlook the importance of time management. When it comes to appearing in an actual interview, the pressure of solving questions within a given time limit can negatively impact performance. I have personally experienced this challenge firsthand.

Additionally, it can be difficult to select random questions to solve on Leetcode, as the platform does not provide an option to pick more than one random question at a time.

Solution

Leetcode-GameRoom addresses these challenges by providing the option to select the type of questions you want to solve from the following categories:

• 4 Easy
• 2 Easy, 2 Medium
• 4 Medium
• 2 Medium, 2 Hard
• 4 Hard

Furthermore, the extension displays a timer on the Leetcode page, allowing you to race against the clock while solving problems.
