#Advent of Code \o/

is this some leaderboarder's highly-optimized, highly-readable solutions?

nope.

I try to optimize some when I have free time, golf solutions aren't even the best. do you like code-golfing? check out this repo!

long, modular solutions are always documented, but rarely (if not at all) unit-tested

do I have solutions in your favorite programming language?

take a look at the language usage breakdown, if the git forge you're reading this from supports it.

if it doesn't, then there's a good chance that you're a shell literate! cook up a oneliner to analyze my file types here...

find 20?? ! -name '*.md' ! -name '*.txt' -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -bnr

😉

I'm sure you'll find ways to improve mine

oh by the way, the .jpg files are probably screenshots of Apple Shortcuts solutions (mostly 2021)

do I have a neat setup for input and submitting?

yeah, but not exactly neat

• fetching puzzle description - https://github.com/scarvalhojr/aoc-cli
• fetching input and submitting (for python) - https://pypi.org/project/advent-of-code-data/

planning on rolling my own local package (for all langs!! why not :P) in the near future, which covers both of their functionalities

do I have a neat script or templates which I use to create new directory structures?

yup!

check out bin/new

templates at skel/

pretend this is actual installable software and document how a user should set it up

prereqs

• python
• cargo
• any other language you wish to run

install 'dependencies' (lol)

• https://github.com/scarvalhojr/aoc-cli
• set up direnv
  • set $AOCROOT to the path to this git repo in the .envrc of the parent dir of the repo
  • check envs using bin/new --help
• create virtualenv
• activate virtualenv
• install from requirements.txt
• start solving new puzzles as they come, using bin/new

am I going to (eventually) do all the previous puzzles I had missed?

perhaps.
