Advent of Code 2024

My absolute commitment of 2 or 3 days at most, probably. This year, in Go.

Getting Started

The puzzles are implemented as a test suite, there is no binary to build.

go test -v

Using your own inputs

• Set AOC_SESSION_ID to your advent of code session cookie
• Get your inputs with sync-inputs

E.g.:

go install ./cmd/sync-inputs
env AOC_SESSION_ID=abcdef sync-inputs

You will have to update the test case values in main_test.go

Dev Container

There is a compose.yaml if you prefer to use a container.

1. Place AOC_SESSION_ID in .env file
2. Run docker compose up -d
3. Run docker compose exec app sync-inputs (and update the test cases)
4. Run docker compose exec app go test -v

There is also a .devcontainer config which will give you a nice test UI in VSCode (if you have installed the Dev Containers extension)
