This project contains all my solutions for Advent of Code challenges.
Warning
Note that this project can automatically download tasks and inputs and submit your solutions to the Advent of Code server. Please use it moderately.
A brief introduction taken from the website:
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like. People use them as interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, a speed contest, or to challenge each other.
In addition, this project contains a command-line application for managing, testing, solving and submitting Advent of Code challenges. This tool allows users to create challenge setups, run tests, generate test files, and provides solutions for various tasks.
Important
Take into account that if all tests passed and you select the option -a or --answer then
the puzzle will be solved, and the output will be copied to the clipboard, so it can be
easily pasted in the Advent of Code website. Also note that if you select the option
-s or --submit then this answer will be automatically submitted to the Advent of Code
server and you will get a console message to let you know whether you answered the task
correctly or not 😄
For every year, the Advent of Code calendar has 25 challenges with 2 tasks per challenge. Every task gives you a
star ⭐️ so the maximum amount of stars for a year is 50.

- Solutions: Includes implementations for solving Advent of Code challenges.
- Create Challenges: Set up new Advent of Code challenges for a specified year and day.
- Generate Test Files: Create multiple test files for a given task.
- Run Tests: Execute tests for specific tasks with options to continue on failure and solve the task in case all tests passed. Take into account that if the puzzle is solved, then the output will be copied to the clipboard 😄
- Submit Answer: Allows you to automatically submit your answer for a specific task in the Advent of Code challenges. This feature is essential if you who want to validate your solutions against the official Advent of Code server without having to do it manually.
The vscode_tasks directory along with the .vscode directory enhances the development experience
for Advent of Code solutions by providing utility scripts and configurations specifically designed
for use within Visual Studio Code. This feature streamlines the process of executing and testing
solutions, making it easier to validate outputs and manage tasks. This will add a launch
configuration to run the current open file solution and 2 tasks, one for running the solution and
the other one for testing the solution.
This application is cross-platform, so it works on Linux, MacOS and Windows. To use it, ensure you
have Python >= 3.10 installed. Clone the repository and install the required dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/jromero132/advent-of-code
cd advent-of-code
pip install -r requirements.txt
echo "AOC_COOKIE=<your-aoc-session-cookie>" > .envNote
The AOC_COOKIE is your Advent of Code session cookie. You can search for it pressing F12
and going into the Network tab in your browser.
The application provides several commands. Use the --help option with the app or any command to
see its usage.
create: Create a new Advent of Code challenge.maketests: Create test files for one Advent of Code challenge.test: Run tests for one Advent of Code challenge.
This project includes all my solutions for Advent of Code challenges. You can run the solutions directly or use the CLI to test them against provided inputs.
Each solution is organized by year, day and task, allowing easy access to the implementations.

year/**: Contains subdirectories for each year of challenges. For instance, from 2015 to 2023.
day##/**: Contains the solutions and additional files for each specified day of the Advent of Code
challenges. The days are numbered from 01 to 25. Inside each day directory you will find:
task1/**: This directory contains the solution for the first task of the Advent of Code challenge for a specific year and day.tests/*: This directory contains input and output files used for validating the solutions of the Advent of Code tasks. It is organized to facilitate testing and comparison of the implemented solutions against expected results.*.in: This file contains sample input data that can be used to test the functionality of the solutions.*.out: This file contains the expected output corresponding to the input data in*.in. It serves as a reference for validating the correctness of the solution by comparing the actual output generated by the program against this expected result.
main.py: This file contains the implementation of the solution for the respective task. It processes the input data fromtask.in,tests/*.inor custom input provided through the standard input, executes the necessary logic to solve the challenge, and generates the output.
task2/**: This directory contains the solution for the second task of the Advent of Code challenge for a specific year and day. It has the same structure as thetask1directory.task.in: This file contains my personal input data required for both tasks solutions for the specified year and day.task1.out: This file contains my output or solution for the first task. It serves as a record of the result generated by my implementation based on the input provided intask.in.task2.out: This file contains my output or solution for the second task. It serves as a record of the result generated by my implementation based on the input provided intask.in.
