🎄 Advent of Code - My Python Solutions

Welcome! This is where I dump my solutions for the Advent of Code puzzles. I come back here every December to tackle the new challenges, time permitting.

I’m a big fan of AoC for a couple of reasons:

• It's a blast: The puzzles are super clever, and let’s be honest, saving Christmas with code is just fun.

• Staying sharp: It’s my favorite way to keep my Python skills fresh and stay up-to-date with new tricks, libraries, and logic.

I try to keep things organized by year and day, so feel free to poke around!

📂 Repo Structure

The folders are sorted by year, making it easy to find what you're looking for:

.
├── 2025/
│   ├── day01/
│   ├── day02/
│   └── ...
└── README.md

🛠️ Running Solutions

If you want to take any of these for a spin:

# Clone the repo:
git clone git@github.com:srgee/advent-of-code.git

# Hop into a specific day:
cd 2025/day01

# Copy your puzzle input (not available in this repo)
cp ~/downloads/input.txt .

# Run the script:
python part1.py

Creating New Days

Use the automation script to create file structure automagically:

python scripts/new_day.py 5

This creates a the folder hierarchy and python module templates for day 5 in 2025 folder.

🙏 Big Thanks

Huge shoutout to the people who make this easier and more fun:

• Eric Wastl (Topaz): For dreaming up Advent of Code and keeping the magic alive every year. You're a legend!

• Trey Hunner: For his awesome automation script. It handles all the modular boilerplate so I can jump straight into the puzzles on Day 1.
