Advent of Code Template

A rust template for Advent of Code.

Usage

run

AOC_YEAR=2020 AOC_SESSION=<Your session key> AOC_INPUT=<Your input directory> cargo build

to set up the project.

session and input dir can be set later in .env.

Notes

1. The module name is aoc-2020 but the template should work for any year
2. The solution files are part of the same crate and so, their dependencies are shared.
3. build.rs is very brittle and made only for the initial state of the repo.
4. The author in Cargo.toml is me. Change it if you want.

Warning

Do not run build.rs after you have started writing your code.

Future Thoughts

1. Make solutions part of a workspace so they can have independent dependencies.
2. Make build.rs more flexible.
