My solutions for Advent of Code 2021
Content
AO-what?
The Advent of Code is a yearly advent calendar that provides a new coding challenge every day while getting more difficult over time.
My Attempt
The Preparation
This year, I tried to be prepared and made the aoc-helper(source code), a cli that allows me to easily generate a template for my solution with unit tests in the programming language of my choice.
With this command:
$ aoc -d 4 -l py
I was able to generate a template for aoc-day 4 in the Python language.
And by using this command:
$ aoc gen-doc
Every single solution got their own little README that told a bit about the content.
The cli was made using Crystal, while the solutions to the tasks were written in Python.
How it Turned Out
The aoc-helper saved me a lot of time by automatically generating what I needed. For 10 days straight I was able to solve the daily task. After the 10th day I slowly lost motivation, because the tasks kept getting harder and I needed longer to solve them. Despite this, I am happy with my performance, and planning to improve next year.
