Jumpstart your Advent of Code experience. Automate input downloads and easily create templates for your solutions, so you can focus on solving the challenges.
Run make setup, this will create the inputs directory and the session.cookie file, please remember to fill the latter with your session cookie to auto-download inputs, and add a newline after it, just in case.
To find it on Chrome: right-click, inspect, Application tab, Storage, Cookies, session.
If you plan on making a fork public, you might want to add this file to .gitignore.
make new creates a new file for today, it checks for the files in src/ and creates the "next int" one. On the first run it will create 01.py, later 02.py, and so on.
A new solution is initialized as follows:
from utils.api import get_input
input_str = get_input(1)
# WRITE YOUR SOLUTION HERE
The get_input function takes a day and returns the content of the input for that day, this internally makes a request to obtain the input if it is not found on disk.
From the main directory, run python src/<DAY>.py.
make readme creates a cool README.md file with a list of the solutions in the source directory, with working links. Note that this original readme will be overwritten.
If you want to use this, please edit src/utils/build_md.py with the correct repository link.
Also, the parse method could be extended to display what you want for each solution. For instance, by uncommenting line 8, and renaming your files like DAY_Cool_Problem_name.py, you will get a list entry like DAY. Cool Problem name.
This repo can be used to setup past years aswell, the only downside is that you need to change the YEAR = 2022 variable on src/utils/api.py.
