Advent of Code

My solutions to the https://adventofcode.com/

Usage

aoc.rb is a thor script that bootstraps a given puzzle with (for me) sane defaults:

• a test file
• a solution file with 2 methods (part1 and part2)
• puzzle input

Each day it goes something like this:

cd ~/code/advent-of-code
ruby aoc.rb bootstrap
cd YEAR/DAY
vim # in one terminal
watchexec -ncr -- bundle exec ruby test_dayDAY.rb # in another terminal

SESSION

Puzzle input is specific to a given user, we can automate the collection of the sample data by passing wget a SESSION. To do that:

• Log into the site using e.g. github credentials
• Inspect the page
• Go to Application
• Go to Cookies
• Copy the session value and export it to SESSION in .envrc or whatever
