AdventOfCode.Template VS bomberjam-contest

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

Each starter kit contains the a few lines of code that shows the basics, like how to loop over each tile, find other players, bombs and bonuses. Apart from the documentation, you can open an issue on the GitHub repository or contact me here on Reddit!
