This repository contains my personal solutions for the Advent of Code challenges, as well as some scripts that are handy for scaffolding and running new challenges.

Running a Challenge

Use /scripts/Invoke-AocProject.ps1 to build and run a solution. By default, the solution to the most recent challenge is run. This can be overridden using the Year and Day parameters.

Each solution is broken up into two binaries, part1 and part2, which correspond to the first and second parts of each AoC challenge. By default, Invoke-AocProject.ps1 will run part1. This can be overridden using the Part parameter.

Scaffolding a New Challenge

Use /scripts/Create-AocProject.ps1 to create a skeleton project for a new challenge. There are two ways to use this script:

When used with -Next, this script will infer the "next" AoC challenge and create the corresponding directory. For example, if the /2019/ directory contains only 01/ and 02/ subdirectories (corresponding respectively to the Day 1 and Day 2 challenges from AoC 2019), then this script will create a new skeleton project under /2019/03.

Alternatively, you can manually specify which challenge to scaffold using the Year and Day parameters. If a solution already exists for the specified day, a warning is issued and you will have the option to overwrite that solution.

In any case, the newly created project will be added to this repository's Cargo workspace, making it easy and efficient to re-use code across solutions.
