Advent of Code challenge ⭐️

Quick start (Windows)

Pyenv-win

1. Install pyenv-win in PowerShell.

   Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/master/pyenv-win/install-pyenv-win.ps1" -OutFile "./install-pyenv-win.ps1"; &"./install-pyenv-win.ps1"

2. Reopen PowerShell

3. Run pyenv --version to check if the installation was successful.

4. Run type .python-version to check what python version this repo uses

5. Run pyenv install <version> to install the python version this repo uses

6. Run pyenv local <version> to set a Python version as the local version

Poetry

1. Run python -m venv venv to create a venv called venv
2. Run venv\Scripts\activate.bat to activate the new venv
3. Run python -m pip install -U pip setuptools poetry to install poetry
4. Run poetry install to install all dependencies via poetry

If you fail poetry install because of lz4, download:

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

And then, run this on the directory you downloaded vs_buildtools.exe: vs_buildtools.exe --norestart --passive --downloadThenInstall --includeRecommended --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools

And now you are ready to use this repo

Usage

Getting input

Requirements: Puzzle inputs differ by user. For this reason, you can't get your data with an unauthenticated request. Here's how to get your session cookie for aocd to use:

Login on AoC with github or whatever Open browser's developer console (e.g. right click --> Inspect) and navigate to the Network tab GET any input page, say adventofcode.com/2016/day/1/input, and look in the request headers. It's a long hex string. Copy it to a plain text file at ~/.config/aocd/token.

1. Make sure your venv is activated: venv\Scripts\activate.bat
2. Run get_input.py: Example for getting Day1 of 2023 poetry run get_input 1 2023

Running Code

1. Make sure your venv is activated: venv\Scripts\activate.bat
2. Run from root(advent_of_code): Example running Day1 of 2023 python advent-of-code\src\2023\Day1\main.py
