An unofficial home for the advent of code community on programming.dev! Other challenges are also welcome!
Advent of Code is an annual Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.
Everybody Codes is another collection of programming puzzles with seasonal events.

I have faith that your bot will work! Cheers for organising this again, and thanks for the heads up about the shorter event. I assume the compressed schedule means that the difficulty will ramp up quicker, but we will see.
(btw, you've swapped the order of the [ ] and ( ) in your link)
Woops. Still sure the bot will work? :D
Will we be using the same programming dot dev private leaderboard as last time?
Is the join code somewhere central / could you share it here?
Edit: My client hides read post, it's literally a pinned post in this community: https://programming.dev/post/6631465
Yup, as far as I know it should still work.
It's there and showing 12 days. I'm currently beating you.
12 days is better IMO, much better chance of more people finishing it. Trying to do 25 days at this. Time of year is practically impossible.
Yeah, I agree, especially towards the end where it gets harder and busier. I think it would have been better to do one challenge per 2 days, so that it finished at christmas eve, but I guess there is nothing stopping someone taking their time with it.
If you have one every other day, it's not habit forming, so I could see that reducing engagement.
Lol, its supposed to be enjoyable, not code-meth :)
But definitely a valid point. Maybe split part 2 of the challenge onto the second day? I guess we'll see how it plays out this year anyway.
I wasn't even planning on it this year (just have a number of hobby projects that are "unblocked", I'm not burnt out, and I could switch project if I were). But if it's only 12 days... we'll see.
Good luck!
Is there a leaderboard for this community?
