This Blocks repository was designed to make it simple and quick to find difficulty values for XCEL Blocks routines. The Swift package contains two primary products: a library and a front-end. The library implements the rules of blocks (aka pedestal) competitions relating to tariff sheets as defined in the XCEL Blocks Code of Points. The front-end exposes features of this library in a basic text-based interface.
Blocks is a Swift library for evaluating pedestal routines according to the Code of Points. The library has a straightforward API, as demo'd in the tariff front-end.
A basic example of using this library:
import blocks
print("Enter the name of a skill: ", terminator: "")
let name = readLine()!
let skill = Skill.named(name)!
print("\(name) is worth \(skillValue(skill)) difficulty.")Tariff is a program using the Blocks library. Its primary use-case is to read a list of elements and print the difficulty of the routine, as well as any potential issues with it.
Usage:
swift run tariff my_blocks_routine
Tariff takes in routine descriptions consisting of a list of skills separated by lines. It will then print out the results of additional calculations that are necessary on an official tariff sheet, such as difficulty value.

Maximize is an additional program that uses Blocks to find the maximum difficulty for a routine. Currently it thinks you can do any skill in the Code of Points. To make it run faster, you can limit it to one 1 second hold to transition into the first skill.
