This is my solutions for the Advent of Code challenges.
I have been doing this in c# to improve my skills in the language.
The latest challenge can be seen here:
This repositiory is based on the AoC template by encse. All credits to him for the template.
- Based on
.NET 9andC# 13 AngleSharpis used for problem downloadgit-cryptto store the input files in an encrypted form- the optional
Memento Inputsextension for Visual Studio Code
- Clone the repo
- Install .NET
- Install and initialize git-crypt:
> brew install git-crypt
> cd repo-dir
> git-crypt init
> git-crypt export-key ~/aoc-crypt.key
Don't commit aoc-crypt.key into a public repo, back it up in some protected place.
If you need to clone your repo later you will need to unlock it using this key such as:
> git clone ...
> cd repo-dir
> git-crypt unlock ~/aoc-crypt.key
- export your SESSION cookie from the adventofcode.com site in your terminal as an env variable:
> export SESSION=djsaksjakshkja...
- Get help with
dotnet runand start coding.
Usage: dotnet run [arguments]
1) To run the solutions and admire your advent calendar:
[year]/[day|all] Solve the specified problems
today Shortcut to the above
[year] Solve the whole year
all Solve everything
calendars Show the calendars
init [this .git repo] [sslSalt] ([sslPassword]) Initialize the current folder
2) To start working on new problems:
login to https://adventofcode.com, then copy your session cookie, and export
it in your console like this
export SESSION=73a37e9a72a...
then run the app with
update [year]/[day] Prepares a folder for the given day, updates the input,
the readme and creates a solution template.
update today Shortcut to the above.
3) To upload your answer:
set up your SESSION variable as above.
upload [year]/[day] Upload the answer for the selected year and day.
upload today Shortcut to the above.
If you prefer, you can work directly in VSCode as well.
Open the command Palette (⇧ ⌘ P), select Tasks: Run Task then e.g. update today.
Work on part 1. Check the solution with the upload today task. Continue with part 2.
Note: this feature relies on the "Memento Inputs" extension to store your session cookie, you need
to set it up in advance from the Command Palette with Install Extensions.
