This is a simple script to generate a .md table for your AoC repository. It will generate a table looking just like this one.
I used to manually update the table in my README.md file, but that was tedious and error-prone. So I wrote this script to do it for me.
The script will generate a table with the following columns:
Day | Challenge | Part 1 | Part 2 | Rank Part 1 | Rank Part 2
The Challenge column will contain the name of the challenge and link to it on the AoC website.
The Part 1 and Part 2 columns will contain links to the solutions for each part of the challenge. (This will work only if your repository is following the same folder organisation than mine. If you want to change this, change the 58th and 59th line of code.)
The Rank Part 1 and Rank Part 2 columns will contain the global ranking you got for each part of the challenge.
Clone this repository :
git clone [email protected]:Enailis/AoC-table-generator.git
Install the requirements
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Run the script:
python3 table_generator.py
To chose which year of AoC to generate the table for, copy the .env-example file to .env and change the YEAR variable to the desired year.
You'll need to get your session cookie from AoC to be able to generate the table. You can find it in your browser's developer tools.
In Firefox, open the developer tools, go to the Storage tab, and copy the value of the session cookie.
In Chromium, open the developer tools, go to the Application tab and copy the value of the session cookie.
The script should work flowlessly on Windows and MacOS. On Linux you might encounter an issue with the pyperclip module. If that's the case, it's probably because you don't have the xclip or xsel package installed. Install one of them and the script should work fine.
