everybody-codes

Setup

This solution depends on a separate puzzle-utils library (GitHub). To use this everybody-codes solution:

1. Clone both repositories:

   git clone https://github.com/tmbarker/puzzle-utils.git
   git clone https://github.com/tmbarker/everybody-codes.git

2. Ensure both repositories are in the same parent directory or update the project references accordingly.

Running a Solution

1. First, configure your input cache directory in appsettings.json:

   {
       "InputCachePath": "<input cache directory path>"
   }

2. Populate your input cache directory to have the following structure:

   S01
   ├── Q01
   │   ├── p1.txt
   │   ├── p2.txt
   │   └── p3.txt
   ├── Q02
   │   ├── p1.txt
   │   ├── p2.txt
   │   └── p3.txt
   Y2024
   ├── Q01
   │   ├── p1.txt
   │   ├── p2.txt
   │   └── p3.txt
   ├── Q02
   │   ├── p1.txt
   │   ├── p2.txt
   │   └── p3.txt

   In other words, the input cache directory should have a subdirectory for each story number (named S<number>, padded to two digits), and each event year (named Y<year>).
   
   Each story and year directory should contain a subdirectory for each quest, named Q<quest>, padded to two digits. If you don't want to do this manually, there's a CLI command that will stub input files for you once you've completed step (1):

   cd EC
   dotnet run template <series> <quest>

3. Next, run the desired solution from your terminal:

   cd EC
   dotnet run solve <series> <quest>

   Note that <series> is the event year (e.g., 2024) or story number (e.g. 1), and <quest> is the quest number (e.g., 1).
