aoc2023-cpp

Advent of Code 2023 solutions, written in C++.

Build

This project uses CMake to build and vcpkg to manage dependencies. Assuming both are installed, you can run:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-YOUR_PLATFORM-static -B . -S ..
cmake --build . --target all

Be sure to change YOUR_PLATFORM to an appropriate triplet, e.g., x64-windows-static.

Problems

Markdown versions of each problem are stored as README's for each solution directory (e.g., day1, day2, etc.).

Day	Title
1	Trebuchet?!
2	Cube Conundrum
3	Gear Ratios
4	Scratchcards
5	If You Give A Seed A Fertilizer
6	Wait For It
7	Camel Cards
8	Haunted Wasteland
9	Mirage Maintenance
10	Pipe Maze
11	Cosmic Expansion

Tools

generate.py

This is a simple python script to generate a new solution directory with templated files.

Example usage:

cd tools
python generate.py -n 1 -t 'Trebuchet?!'

Will generate day1 in the repository root (tools/../ by default) with the structure:

day1/
├── include/
│  └── day1.hpp
├── day1_test.cpp
├── main.cpp
└── README.md

Use the --help flag to display all available options.

Testing

Tests are disabled by default since GTest is quite heavy and can take awhile to build. You can enable tests with the AOC_BUILD_TESTS option. This may be specified either through the CMake GUI or with the command line option -DAOC_BUILD_TESTS=ON.

If using the CMake extension for VSCode, options can also be set in .vscode/settings.json:

{
    "cmake.configureSettings": {
        "AOC_BUILD_TESTS": true
    }
}
