Advent of Code

contains my solutions to advent of code stuff. Also contains a scrip runner to help automate some stuff.

Script Runner

Script runner for the Advent of Code challenges. Handles all the boilerplate code for running AOC scripts and obtaining the test data. This version has been copied from https://github.com/yrova/Advent-Of-Code-Runner

Script Runner Features

• Automatic Input (Test data) Retrieval: If an input file for a specific day is missing, the script automatically downloads it, assuming you've provided a valid session token.
• Manual Input Placement: You have the option to manually place the input.txt file in the appropriate input folder, organized by year and day.
• Solution Execution: Write your solution code in the runner.ts file corresponding to the day you are working on.

Usage

Command Line Arguments

• day (alias: -d): Specify the day to run (range: 1-25).
• year (alias: -y): Specify the year to run. Defaults to 2023 if not provided.
• sessionCookie (alias: -c): Provide the session token for downloading inputs.

Running the Script

Execute the script using Yarn with the desired arguments. For example:

yarn start --year 2023 --day 3 --sessionCookie 234jdfj2i3jro3jo13j5

alternatively add SESSION_COOKIE=value to an .env file in your project root directory and omit the sesionCookie parameter in the command

yarn start --year 2023 --day 3
