AdventOfCodeSupport 1.0.0

AdventOfCodeSupport

This package provides support to simplify the process of storing each day's puzzle within a single solution. Each day is automatically registered to a central location, with built-in support for BenchmarkDotNet.

Usage

• Begin by adding this NuGet package to your project AdventOfCodeSupport.
• Add a folder to your project for the current year i.e. 2022.
• Add a subfolder to the year called Inputs.
• Place each day's input into that folder named by day with 2 digits 01.txt.
• Create a class in the 2022 folder called Day01.cs

using AdventOfCodeSupport;

namespace Foo._2022;

public class Day01 : AoCBase
{
    public Day01() : base(2022, 1) { }

    protected override void InternalPart1()
    {
        // Part 1 solution here.
    }

    protected override void InternalPart2()
    {
        // Part 2 solution here.
    }
}

• The call to the base constructor has an optional 3rd parameter to disable the input for the day.
• Create a new Solutions() at your entry point.
• Select your day from the Solutions, for example:

using AdventOfCodeSupport;

var solutions = new Solutions();
var today = solutions
    .Where(x => x.Year == 2022)
    .OrderByDescending(x => x.Day)
    .First();

• Run your solution parts with today.Part1().Part2().
• Or benchmark them with today.Benchmark(), benchmarking requires running in Release.
