Just a personal tracking of all code shenanigans for Advent of Code.

To use the automatic input fetching, you need to set up a file called SESSION in the main directory. Go to an Advent of Code puzzle site (like 2021, day 1) and login using whatever credentials you want. Then open the developer tools of your browser, go to the Network tab, go to the Headers tab, and then scroll down until you find a field called cookies. Copy and paste everything in session= and put it in the file. The file is ignored by Git for privacy.

Use this to download the data for the day and set up the solution file.

python load_sleigh.py <year> <day>

Write your answers in the first_star and second_star functions in the file created for the current date in solutions/. Then run

python jingle_jangle.py <year> <day>

The two answers should print to the terminal, which you can paste into the submission box.
