# Advent of Code 2024 in Elixir
|
|
|
|
If you've never heard of Advent of Code, you're missing out. Check it out now at [adventofcode.com](https://adventofcode.com/about)!
|
|
|
|
I mostly do AoC puzzles for fun, generally coding in Python or Rust, but I've also found that it's a great way to get some experience with other programming languages, such as Elixir, Haskell, or Julia.
|
|
|
|
This repository contains all my solutions to the [AoC 2024](https://adventofcode.com/2024) puzzles using Elixir.
|
|
|
|
As I'm still learning Elixir, the code may not always be as simple or idiomatic as it could be. If you have suggestions for things I could improve, please don't hesitate to file an issue or submit a PR. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Elixir and Git installed, then open a terminal and run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ageron/aoc2024-elixir
|
|
cd aoc2024-elixir
|
|
mix aoc2024.run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can specify days to run if you want, for example this will run days 2, 4, and 6:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mix aoc2024.run 2 4 6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Getting the data
|
|
|
|
I've also included a little `get_data.py` utility to automatically download the data of the day, at the right time (you'll get a countdown if you're early). I was too lazy to code it in Elixir, but perhaps I'll port it one day. To use it, just type the following command in a terminal, replacing `{day}` with the day you want:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd /path/to/this/repository
|
|
python get_data.py 2024 {day}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script requires the `requests` and `pytz` libraries, which you can install like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python -m pip install --user requests pytz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first time you run `get_data.py`, you will be asked to login to AoC in your browser, [find your session cookie](https://github.com/wimglenn/advent-of-code-wim/issues/1), and save it into a `.session` file in the current directory.

Have fun!
