🎄 Advent of Code Solutions

This repository contains my solutions to Advent of Code challenges. Advent of Code is an annual coding event with daily programming puzzles released from December 1st to December 25th.

🚀 Leaderboard Dashboard

A custom leaderboard visualization dashboard is available in the leaderboards directory. Features include:

• Interactive JSON file upload for leaderboard data
• Key statistics:
  • Total participants and stars

🛠️ Running Solutions

1. Each day's solution is in its own directory
2. Input files are stored as input.txt in the respective day's directory
3. Problem descriptions are in question.md files
4. To run a solution:

   cd 2024/day-1
   python solution.py

📝 Notes

• Solutions aim to be clear and readable rather than code-golfed
• Each day's directory includes:
  • Solution code (solution.py)
  • Input data (input.txt)
  • Problem description (question.md)
  • Part 2 description (question-2.md) when applicable
  • Unit tests (unit_tests.py) for solutions that require them
    • Solutions with unit tests run tests before executing the actual solution
    • Tests verify both example cases and edge cases where applicable

⭐ Progress Tracking

• ⭐ = First part completed
• ⭐⭐ = Both parts completed
• Blank = Not started/In progress
