AOCUtil

Input downloader for Advent of Code

Usage

Session cookie to fetch inputs and submit answers

• Get your session cookie from Advent of Code and save it in ./data/.secret_session_cookie
• Inputs are cached to ./inputs, a session cookie lasts for a month, and that's how long the inputs are valid.
• Inputs and answers are fetched and submitted by parsing the folder structure and filenames, so make sure they are named correctly.
  • 20\d{2} for the year. Yes, you can break this. Do you have to?
  • [^0-9] for the day from the filename. 666_superclever_day01 is not the intended usage <3
  • aoc2022/day01.py, aoc/python/2022/day01.py etc.

To generate the puzzle .py files for every day:

python -m AOCRla.aoc

To run a specific day's puzzle:

python ./dayXX.py

To open a web browser with the correct puzzle selected, add anything after the python file:

python ./day01.py  asdf
