Advent of Code

https://adventofcode.com/

Overview

I discovered Advent of Code in (I think) 2017. I was learning Python at the time and was looking for a project to apply the language to, as I have found this is the best way I learn new things, by doing them.

That first year was a lot of fun, and I learnt a lot of Python coding during the month, which was the goal. Since then, I have attempted each year, with the goal of just completing challenges. I don't solve problems quick enough to place on the leaderboard, I think my best ever placing is low 200's. I'd love to one day place on the global leaderboard for just one star, so I'll keep trying

Purpose

The purpose of this repo/website is many and varied

• It's a place for me to consolidate all my AoC code into one repo, and use this going forward, rather than the varied and adhoc nature I've been using
• Somewhere for me to reflect on the challenges and achievements along the way
• A showcase of what I can do
• Somewhere I can (hopefully) easily lookup previous years challenges when faced with that feeling of "This seems similar to something I've done before..."
• To review all my solutions, and complete all missing stars
