AdventOfCode.Template VS advent2019-fast

Earlier this year, I wrote about scripting and automation in VSCode using typescript as part of an ongoing project to reduce time consuming repetitive actions in my professional life. So this seemed like a perfect opportunity to do something similar at a more targeted domain space. Additionally, I'd seen a few examples of AOC runners floating around (pre-built libraries and templates that come with hope to help streamline the mechanics of participating in AOC). There are a few solutions in the .NET ecosystem, but they're all in C#!

You can use it 'as-is', or start from this template to better understand how it works 😊

I didn't really care about executing times, but using C# I ran into array size limits which made me switch to my approach. I'm using eduherminio/AdventOfCode solver framework which returns 0.5ms as a result, which I'm pretty sure is not correct tough. Adding a stopwatch to the executing method returns 3ms. Hope that helps.

Great, me too! Check out this c# template on github for an easy way to manage the problems

Wish I could do like https://github.com/Voltara/advent2019-fast/blob/master/src/day03.cpp and only check perpendicular pairs for intersections, but this problem has significantly more elements, because some pairs of vents can be collinear (and generate many intersections), and there are diagonals to contend with.

Just wait for this guy to solve everything in < 9ms.
