Advent of Code

This repo contains my solutions to the advent of code problems.

Requirements

  • A bash or zsh terminal
  • Python 3.5 or newer
  • Chrome or Firefox

Setup

  1. Run ./setup.sh $(date +%Y) script to create the directory for the current year.
  2. In the terminal navigate to the directory you just created (e.g. cd $(date +%Y)).
  3. Activate the venv by running source ${HOME}/.virtualenvs/${PWD##*/}/bin/activate.
  4. Sign in on the advent of code website in either Chrome or Firefox
  5. Save your authentication token by running aocd-token > ~/.config/aocd/token.
  6. Run ./get_data.sh to get all the available inputs for your current directory.

Troubleshooting

Invalid token

If you sign out of Advent of Code your token will no longer be valid. Rerun steps 4 and 5 of the setup to refresh your token.

Empty or incorrect input file

Delete the incorrect input file and re-run ./get_data.sh
