My newer TypeScript solutions for Advent of Code along with a framework that allows new days to be scaffolded and solutions to be written quickly.
The solutions include:
- Some from 2020 copied over from advent-of-code-2020 to help create the framework
- Some from 2018, written to practice using the framework
- Full solutions from 2021
- In-progress solutions from 2022
- Note that 2019 solutions are not included but what I got up to can be found at advent-of-code-2019
To run interactively, use yarn cli or npx ts-node src/common/CliDriver.ts. The CLI will look for the latest solution
code in the latest year and start running for that day and year. Add an optional year and day parameter to start for a
year and day other than the latest day available in code, e.g. yarn cli 2018 will start from the latest 2018 code, and
yarn cli 2018 12 will start on 2018 day 12. The CLI can be used to both run a solution and scaffold the code for
another day's solution.
To run a single solution without using the CLI, use a command like:
npx cross-env SAMPLE_FILE=1 ts-node --files "src/2021/day15/index.ts" "src/2021/day15/sample.p1.txt" 1 src/2021/day15/sample.p1.expected.txt
The first parameter is the input file, the second parameter is the part to run (1 or 2), and the 3rd optional parameter
is a file containing the expected result (useful for the sample inputs/outputs in puzzle descriptions). Logging via the
sampleLog function will log out to console only when a sample solution is passed in.
To debug through IntelliJ see
this page.
To debug through VSCode, use the .vscode/launch.json file.
Each solution is implemented as a subclass of the Solver class, which provides some shared functionality (e.g. logging
and progress bars) and a standard interface to implement. The InputParser static functions can be used to perform
various manipulations of the input files. The Utils file and other files in the common folder contain some random
helper functions/classes.
