Xojo Advent of Code project
A Xojo project framework to tackle the Advent of Code challenges. Solutions are included for 2021 and some past years.
Duplicate the AdventTemplate class and rename it with year_month_day, for example, Advent_2021_12_02. In the WndAdvent.InitAdvent method, use AddRow to add the new class, e.g., AddRow new Advent_2021_12_02.
In the class, fill in the constants kInput and kTestInput with your data, then code it within the CalculateResultA and CalculateResultB methods.
Look around for helper methods in the AdventBase class and the Advent module. For example, within your code you can use Print to print lines to a pseudo-console.
Run the project, then double-click the day to run the code. Each day runs in a Thread so you could, if you wanted, run them simultaneously. Double-click again to pause while running, or run again after it's done.
The project includes solutions to all of 2021 and some of other years. More may be added as time goes on. The solutions are meant to solve the puzzles and should not be taken as examples of proper coding or technique.
In other words, some of this is ugly, but I'm posting it anyway. :-)
This project was created by Kem Tekinay (ktekinay at mactechnologies dot com). It may or may not be maintained, but is free to use as a framework.
