CI

Advent of Code template based on AoCHelper project.

It allows you to focus on solving AoC puzzles while providing you with some performance stats.

Problem example:

using AoCHelper;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace AdventOfCode;

public class Day_01 : BaseDay
{
    public override ValueTask<string> Solve_1() => new("Solution 1");

    public override ValueTask<string> Solve_2() => new("Solution 2");
}

Output example:

aochelper

Basic usage

  • Create one class per advent day, following DayXX or Day_XX naming convention and implementing AoCHelper.BaseDay.
  • Place input files under Inputs/ dir, following XX.txt convention.
  • Read the input content from InputFilePath and solve the puzzle by implementing Solve_1() and Solve_2()!

By default, only your last problem will be solved when running the project. You can change that by behavior by modifying Program.cs.

Invoking different methods:

  • Solver.SolveAll(); → solves all the days.

  • Solver.SolveLast(); → solves only the last day.

  • Solver.Solve<Day_XX>(); → solves only day XX.

  • Solver.Solve(new uint[] { XX, YY }); → solves only days XX and YY.

  • Solver.Solve(new [] { typeof(Day_XX), typeof(Day_YY) }); → same as above.

Providing a custom Action<SolverConfiguration> to any of those methods (availabe options described here):

  • Solver.SolveLast(opt => opt.ClearConsole = false); → solves only the last day providing a custom configuration.

  • Solver.SolveAll(opt =>
    {
        opt.ShowConstructorElapsedTime = true;
        opt.ShowTotalElapsedTimePerDay = true;
        opt.ElapsedTimeFormatSpecifier = "F3";
    });

    solves all the days providing a custom configuration.

Advanced usage

Check AoCHelper README file for detailed information about how to override the default file naming and location conventions of your problem classes and input files.
