Advent of Code

I’m starting with Advent of Code (again)

From the AI-generated Wikipedia summary for a 10 year old:

The Advent of Code is an exciting annual computer programming event that takes place during the holiday season. It’s a fun challenge for programmers of all levels!

Every day in December leading up to Christmas, a new coding puzzle is released on the Advent of Code website. These puzzles are designed to test your problem-solving skills and help you improve your coding abilities.

You can participate by solving each puzzle using any programming language you’re comfortable with. The puzzles start off easy and gradually become more challenging as the days go by. You’ll get to explore different concepts like algorithms, data structures, and logical thinking while having lots of fun!

Not only will you have the opportunity to learn and practice coding, but there’s also a friendly community of fellow participants who share their solutions and discuss strategies on forums or social media platforms.

So if you enjoy coding or want to give it a try, the Advent of Code is a fantastic event for you! It’s a great way to sharpen your programming skills while enjoying the festive spirit during the holiday season.

Back in 2018 I created a GitHub repository with the good intention to work on all the puzzles, starting from the first year, 2015. Well, guess what never happened? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This year I’m starting again. I do not promise that I will work on a puzzle every day. Maybe I’ll spend more time on procrastinating setting up GitHub Actions. We’ll see…
