This project makes use of Go 1.21.

go mod download
go test ./...

Adding New Solutions

This currently requires the environment variable AOC_SESSION_TOKEN be set with your AdventOfCode session token.

A generator program is included that makes templates for each day, automatically downloading challenge input and updating the root command to add new subcommands for each problem. Running go generate from the repo root will generate the following for each day that is currently accessible:

• challenge/day<N>/import.go: A "glue" file combining commands for both of the day's problems to simplify wiring up subcommands
• challenge/day<N>/a.go: The main problem implementation, containing a cobra command A and the implementation func a(*challenge.Input) int
• challenge/day<N>/a_test.go: A basic test template
• challenge/day<N>/b.go: The main problem implementation, containing a cobra command B and the implementation func b(*challenge.Input) int
• challenge/day<N>/b_test.go: A basic test template
• challenge/day<N>/input.txt: The challenge input

Additionally, challenge/cmd/cmd.go will be regenerated to import and add all subcommands.

This requires goimports be available on your $PATH. Additionally, you must be logged into https://adventofcode.com in Chrome so the generator can use your session cookie to download challenge input.

Existing solutions and challenge inputs will be skipped instead of regenerated.
