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
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.
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!
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.
Will we be using the same programming dot dev private leaderboard as last time?
Yup, as far as I know it should still work.
It's there and showing 12 days. I'm currently beating you.
I'm the other Cameron, but you are still beating me :(
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
Is there a leaderboard for this community?
