Advent of Code solutions

This project holds my Go solutions + utilities for Advent of Code puzzles over the years.

Prereqs

To run solutions and tests, the following must be true:

• You have Go installed
• The $GOPATH env var is set
• This repository is cloned into $GOPATH/src/github.com/jzimbel/adventofcode-go
• Your $PATH includes $GOPATH/bin

Run it

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/jzimbel/adventofcode-go
$ go get ./... # installs all project dependencies
$ go install   # compiles and installs project to $GOPATH/bin/
$ adventofcode-go <year> <day>

If the input for the solution you're trying to run hasn't already been saved, the program will try to download it from the Advent of Code site first. If this is your first time downloading an input, you'll be asked to provide your unique session id. It's held in a cookie named session saved by the site—you can view it using your browser's dev tools or a number of cookie-viewing browser extensions.

Test it

$ go test github.com/jzimbel/adventofcode-go

Copy it

If you like the setup I've got here, feel free to use it yourself. Or let me know if it's garbage! This is my first time making a proper Go project from scratch, so I'm sure it's not perfect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
