My Advent of Code 2024 solutions.
Written in python using procedural programming.
Each directory contains all the code for the named day.
All programs by default run using an input.txt file in the same directory. Advent of Code do not want inputs being distributed so to use it you will have to get your own from their website and save it.
Solutions get printed to the console.
Instructions for running part 1 and part 2 for each day (if both parts are in the same file one line will need to be changed):
| Day | Part 1 | Part 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Run totalDistanceCalculator.py. | Run similarityScoreCalculator.py. |
| 2 | Run reportChecker.py with the PROBLEM_DAMPENER_ENABLED flag in the main method set to False. |
Run reportChecker.py with the PROBLEM_DAMPENER_ENABLED flag in the main method set to True. |
| 3 | Comment out or remove the do and don't instructions from getInstructions() in memory.py and run multiplactionAdder.py. |
Run multiplicationAdder.py (revert part 1 instrutions if done). |
| 4 | Run wordSearchSolver.py with SELECTED_PUZZLE_TYPE in the main method set to PUZZLE_TYPES[0] (XMAS). |
Run wordSearchSolver.py with SELECTED_PUZZLE_TYPE in the main method set to PUZZLE_TYPES[1] (X-MAS). |
| 5 | Run updateValidator.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[0] (GET VALID UPDATES). |
Run updateValidator.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[1] (CORRECT INVALID UPDATES). |
| 6 | Run guardPredictor.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[0] (COUNT). |
Run guardPredictor.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[1] (LOOPS). Warning: Takes anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes, maybe more depending on the input. May improve it eventually. |
| 7 | Run calibrationResultCalculator.py with the || (concatination) operator commented out or removed from the getOperators() function. |
Run calibrationResultCalculator.py (revert part 1 instructions if done). |
| 8 | Run antinodeMapper.py with the RESONANT_ENABLED flag in the main method set to False. |
Run antinodeMapper.py with the RESONANT_ENABLED flag in the main method set to True. |
| 9 | Run diskSpaceMaker.py with the FRAGMENTATION_ENABLED flag in the main method set to True. |
Run diskSpaceMaker.py with the FRAGMENTATION_ENABLED flag in the main method set to False. |
| 10 | Run hikingTrailFinder.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[0] (TRAILHEAD). |
Run hikingTrailFinder.py with SELECTED_MODE in the main method set to MODE[1] (RATING). |
| 11 | Run stonePredictor.py with BLINKS in the main method set to 25. |
Run stonePredictor.py with BLINKS in the main method set to 75. |
| 12 | Run fencePriceCalculator.py with the BULK_DISCOUNT_ENABLED flag in the main method set to False. |
Run fencePriceCalculator.py with the BULK_DISCOUNT_ENABLED flag in the main method set to True. |
| 13 | Run fewestTokenCalculator.py with PRIZE_MODIFIER in the main method set to 0. |
Run fewestTokenCalculator.py with PRIZE_MODIFIER in the main method set to 10000000000000. |
| 14 | Run safetyFactorCalculator.py. | Run easterEggFinder.py. |
| 15 | Run robotPredictor.py with the WIDER_WAREHOUSE flag in the main method set to False. |
Run robotPredictor.py with the WIDER_WAREHOUSE flag in the main method set to True. |
- All programs have to be written in python using the procedural programming paradigm.
- Programs should be well-commented and designed for maintainability and expansion (while also not taking to long to make).
- To start a day, each day before it must be fully solved (to fit the story).
- The solution to a part must be printed to the console and the only thing printed to the console.
- All programs should allow for running both parts and there should be an easy way to switch parts if they are in the same file.
