Advent of code

This is the most wonderful time of the year - Andy Williams

This repository is built on python that run with poetry making all configs that you need automatically: creates directories, scripts, request HTML page from Advent of Code site and downloaded in 'src/cached_html', taking 'input', 'sample file' from 'src/input' and send back 'result' to the AoC page and pass the day filling the input on to the page (the last part is on progress).

1. Clone and cd to root project then: $ poetry install, then poetry shell to activate the environment;

2. Two ways of run it when you need creating files and populate them with data:

   A. Automatically: go on Chrome Browser on Advent of Code and choose [GitHub] as a sign in option (only this method it is available for now).

   B. Manually: add input manually: input/{year}/day{day}.txt and input/{year}/day{day}_sample.txt.

   Note: If you want to use project with your own inputs and different approach in solving problems, you have to remove anything in directory 'py/', except 'script_example.txt'; then in directory 'src/' remove completely 'input/' and 'cached_html/'. Then add manually the input into the files as in 2.B step.

3. Run: $python main.py -v <yearday> e.g: python main.py -v 2201 '22' represent year 2022 and '01' is day 01.

   If no year is mentioned, it will be taken automatically last year available: python main.py -v 01. In this case '22' is the last year available for 'day01'.

4. Testing: For testing sample input add '-s s': python main.py -v 2201 -s s
