Advent of Code Deno Starter

A Starter Project that can be used for Advent of Code. The project provides,

  1. Auto Download of puzzle input when a day is run for the first time
  2. Script for generating a file per day and a test file per day
  3. Script for running single, multiple, and all days

Prerequisites

  1. Other than having Deno installed, you need to have Velociraptor installed if you want to use the provided helper scripts.
  2. You also need to place a file called aoc_cookie in the root of this project. It should contains the contents of your Advent of Code Session cookie. It is valid for at least a month so you should be good for the duration of the event.
  3. Under days/day.ts make sure the year constant is set to the year you are currently working on.

Note: You do not need Velociraptor to use this, it is just to provide more conveniently written commands. The straight Deno cli commands are provided below as well.
