Shared repository for AoC23 - Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for all skill levels that can be solved in any programming language
It's a fun daily puzzle which can also double up as an L&D opportunity for analysts of all skill levels and skill sets. This repository can act as a container for any LPA analysts with a github account who wish to participate.
If this sounds like fun, the visit AoC's homepage at https://adventofcode.com/ and create an account to view the daily puzzles (published every day throughout December). Then you join the LPA team "lpa-advent-of-code-2023" so you can acces and maintain the AoC repository: https://github.com/orgs/Local-Policy-Analysis/teams/lpa-advent-of-code-2023
If you're interested, we have a private leaderboard which you can join at https://adventofcode.com/2024/leaderboard/private with the code 2531614-abedf0ee. (I expect zero takeup of this, but if you want to you can!)
Scripts can be written and stored in this repository - clone a copy onto your DAP and create a script in the relevent day's folder, then commit the change when your finished. The repo will be owned by LPA and pull requests can be approved by all members. Most challenges require an input of some kind, these will be placed in the input folder (inputs are unique per user, so please add your name into the input, e.g. day_6_pbr.txt). You might also want to use the test input, which should be called day_x_test.txt.
If you're new to github, a guide to collobrating (i.e. cloning, forking and commiting) can be found here: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/hello-world
