aocgo - Advent of Code solutions in Go

What is Advent of Code?

This. Every year since 2015, starting December 1 to 25, 25 small programming problems are presented on http://adventofcode.com. The challenges are fun to solve in programming language of your choice. I mostly solved those with Elixir in the past, but am looking forward to play with Golang in future challenges. And as I am trying really learn Go, I felt like I should backfill the old challenges throughout 2023.

How do I run these?

• To create stubs for solving for instance, 2022/1, run: go run main.go gen 2022 1 (also g instead of gen)
• To run solution for the same, run: go run main.go solve 2022 1 (also run, r or s instead of solve)

Note: The additional commands (i.e. run, g etc) are there because when I am rapidly testing solutions, I have often typed those and failed. So totally for my convenience that one.

Note, empty input.txt is create after gen (or g) command for now. You will need to copy/paste the input data to the file.

FAQ

What version of Go do I need to use for these?

I am using embed and generics to solve problems. So at least go 1.18 is needed to run these.
