Advent of code offers every year nice problems to practice your coding. I take this as an excuse to learn or refresh my knowledge of a programming language:
- 2015: C: I did not really do it in 2015 (18 days completed)
- 2020: Python: Whohou I finished it
- 2021: Vimscript: (Yes really 17 days of vimscript)
- 2022: Rust: I went blazingly fast (or at least I tried) for 11 days
- 2023: Haskell: Side effect free since 23
- 2024: roc: Let's be Fast Friendly and Functional
- Add an environment variable storing the cookie to advent of code
export AOC_COOKIE="session=#SECRET#"(highly recommend direnv for this) - Create your base code for the year in
resources/[ YYYY ](knowing that the data are located)
- Run the following command to generate the project in the language of the year, get the the input of the day, print the url of today's puzzle in the clipboard, and add the puzzle instruction as a README.md
make start- It also works for other days and years
make start DAY='[ DAY ]' YEAR='[ YEAR ]'- If the folder already exist it will not be recreated
- The test data are not parsed automatically
- I lost the commit history of the early year
- Some absolute paths can be found here and there sorry about that...
