aoc-kotlin-starter

Starter template for solving Advent of Code in Kotlin

Features

• Starter .gitignore
• Junit and Hamcrest test libraries included (see Testing below)
• Gradle setup so you can run a specific day or all days on the command line (see Running below)

Running

Project is already setup with gradle. To run the app:

• Navigate to top-level directory on the command line
• Run ./gradlew run to run all days
• Run ./gradlew run --args $DAY where $DAY is an integer to run a specific day

Testing

Project includes Junit and Hamcrest and a stub unit test to get you going. To run all tests:

• Navigate to top-level directory on the command line
• Run ./gradlew test
• Add --info, --debug or --stacktrace flags for more output

Architecture

• Inputs go into src/main/resources and follow the naming convention input_day_X.txt
• Solutions go into src/main/kotlin/days and extend the Day abstract class, callings its constructor with their day number
• Solutions follow the naming convention DayX
• It is assumed all solutions will have two parts but share the same input
• Input is exposed in the solution classes in two forms - inputList and inputString
• Day 1 solution class and input file are stubbed as a guide on how to extend the project
• To get started simply replace input_day_1.txt with the real input and the solutions in Day1 with your own
