My solution to Advent of Code https://adventofcode.com/

adventofcode.py script

All the operation are centralized by adventofcode.py script.

usage: adventofcode.py [-h] {common,init,build,run,all} ...

Advent of Code utility application

positional arguments:
  {common,init,build,run,all}
    common              run tests for common lib
    init                init the current day directory
    build               just build the current day
    run                 run the current day
    all                 run all the day of a year

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

You can print this help message with the command adventofcode.py -h.

Generate a day

usage: adventofcode.py init [-h] [-o] YEAR DAY

positional arguments:
  YEAR             current year of the AoC, is a directory name
  DAY              current day of the AoC, is a directory name, subdirectory of YEAR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -o, --overwrite  if files already exists, overwrite them

With this code python3 adventofcode.py init 2021 day01 you can generate the 2021/day01 directory and init it from the template.

How to run test and code

usage: adventofcode.py run [-h] [-t] [-e] [-b] YEAR DAY

positional arguments:
  YEAR             current year of the AoC, is a directory name
  DAY              current day of the AoC, is a directory name, subdirectory of YEAR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -t, --test       run the tests of the current day
  -e, --timing     print execution time of the current day
  -b, --benchmark  print benchmark of the current day

You can run test with -t flag: python3 adventofcode.py run -t 2021 day01. This command run the solution too. With -e flag it enable the timing and print time elapsed. The -b flag without -t flag do nothing.

Is possible to build witout run the code with the command adventofcode.py build 2021 day01. Use the same flags of the run command.

usage: adventofcode.py build [-h] [-t] [-e] YEAR DAY

positional arguments:
  YEAR          current year of the AoC, is a directory name
  DAY           current day of the AoC, is a directory name, subdirectory of YEAR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -t, --test    build the tests of the current day
  -e, --timing  enable execution time of the current day

Test common lib

usage: adventofcode.py common [-h]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

You can run test for the common lib using the command python3 adventofcode.py common.
