Advent of Code solutions for 2017

Advent of Code 2017

Introduction

This repository contains solutions for Advent of Code 2017.

All solutions are implemented in Kotlin with RxJava 2

Assignment data is cached within the project. The Framework either retrieves the local data (if available) or otherwise retrieves the data from the server. If you want to use the framework for your own assignments, make sure to delete all contents of the data/ folder after forking.

Running the application

To start fetching assignments for your project, you need to get a session token to authenticate.

To do this, use your the developer tools of your web browser:

• Go to AdventOfCode.com
• Login
• Open the developer tools of your browser (on Safari and Firefox for macOS you can press CMD + Alt + I.)
• Switch to the networking tab of the developer tools
• Reload the page
• Find the session key in the headers from one of the requests

Commandline

Building the jar file:

./gradlew jar

Running the jar file:

java -jar build/libs/AdventOfCode.jar [sessionToken] [day]

A session token can be fetched by logging in on your browser and debugging the browser request.

IntelliJ IDEA

Create a new run configuration and enter the following data:

Creating solutions

The bootstrap template only contains the classes to start with day 1.

To add a new day, you need to create a new Solution class and append it to the Application.solutions array field.
