Advent of Code solutions

Building

• Check out and open in VS Code
• Install the recommended Remote Containers extension (inside the container)
• Open the project in the dev container

Running

VS Code: Push <F5> and answer the prompts (year and day) Shell: python3 solve.py <day>

Notes

• The solution will automatically download the day's input if it doesn't already exist
• If this is a fresh clone, you'll have to create a session.txt file with the hex value of the cookie (not including session=) so we can authenticate to the AoC website and download the inputs/challenges/etc.

Adding new solutions

• Run solve.py with a new year/day. If the module doesn't exist, it will be created with a default template

Download challenge text

After completing both parts (so you get part two also), run solve.py -c <DAY> to download the challenge text directly to the top of the year/day module.
