Advent of Code 2016

Solutions for #aoc2016 in Python 3 (3.12.7).

Setup

Since I want to remember, this is what was used to solve the puzzles.

• Lenovo Thinkpad x260 laptop with Arch Linux.
• Hyprland with gBar.
• Editor: Zed.
• Terminal: Alacritty.

Help scripts

Display all solved puzzles:

python aoc.py

To bootstrap a new puzzle (creates input/<day_no>.txt and output/day_<day_no>.py):

python aoc.py <day_no> <puzzle_name>

Manually copy the puzzle input from https://adventofcode.com and paste it in input/<day_no>.txt to start coding.

wl-paste > input/<day_no>.txt

Solve separate puzzle (replace XX with the puzzle number):

python -m output.day_XX

Solve separate puzzle using stdin (replace XX with the puzzle number):

wl-paste | python -m output.day_XX
cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX

Execute separate puzzle on file save (replace XX with the puzzle number):

ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'wlpaste | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -r python -m output.day_XX

(requires entr and wl-paste, Mac users can instead use pbpaste. If you prefer X at Linux, use xclip -selection clipboard -o).

To lint files:

ls output/*.py | entr -r -c flake8 output --ignore=E741,E501,E203
