AOCgen

AOCgen is a tool to assist in solving Advent of Code in Go.

Setup

Run AOCgen via executable: ./aocgen

Commands

• bench: run benchmarks for a given puzzle or year of puzzles
• build: run code generation suite, useful for when you've had to remove any code
• gen: generate a puzzle
• input: display input for a puzzle in the console
• list: list all years or puzzles in a year
• rm: delete a puzzle and its input
• run: run a puzzle

Generating Code

Use aocgen via the gen subcommand to generate code: ./aocgen gen -y <year> -d <day>

This will generate two files: the puzzle (pkg/year<year>/<day>.go) and its input (pkg/year<year>/inputs/<day>.txt)

Open up the puzzle and remove the DO NOT EDIT line to begin working.

Run the puzzle through the aocgen command as well: ./aocgen run -y <year> -d <day>

Automatically pulling puzzle input from website

Export the environment variable AOC_SESSION with your adventofcode.com session cookie value. Otherwise, you'll need to manually copy the input into your generated input file.

Benchmarking

Again, use aocgen to run benchmarks for a specific day's puzzle or the entire year:

Day: ./aocgen bench -y <year> -d <day>

Year: ./aocgen bench -y <year>
