metajack / aoc-template

This is a simple template for AOC solutions.

To start a new day (except for day1 which is stubbed already):

1. cp src/DAY.rs src/dayX.rs
2. Add mod dayX; near the top of main.rs.
3. In main.rs add a new branch to main() like X => run_day!(dayX, dayX::DayX, &args.input), near the others.
4. For the DayX struct that day, use whatever fields your inputs requires; this will often been some Vec field.
5. Implement from_input() to parse the input string into your DayX struct. Iterator functions are great for this.
6. Implement solve_part1().
7. Implement solve_part2().

Run your solution with cargo run -- --day X --part P input/dayX.input

You can also use aoc-cli to manage your inputs. If you do, download the day's input with aoc -y Y -d D download.

Good luck!
