<p>I've decided to use Advent of Code to keep learning Go this year; is anyone else participating? Would love to check out your repos if so; here's mine: <a href="https://gitlab.com/drakonka/advent-of-code-2017">https://gitlab.com/drakonka/advent-of-code-2017</a></p>
<p>For those who aren't familiar with Advent of Code, it is a fun yearly challenge where you get a new problem to solve each day (two parts per day): <a href="http://adventofcode.com/">http://adventofcode.com/</a></p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>reusing-code: <pre><p>Anyone interested in joining a <a href="/r/golang" rel="nofollow">/r/golang</a> leaderboard? I just created one, go to <a href="http://adventofcode.com/2017/leaderboard/private" rel="nofollow">http://adventofcode.com/2017/leaderboard/private</a> and use the code </p>

I am not really competitive with it though, just doing the puzzles in my own time and trying different kinds of solutions.</p></pre>reusing-code: <pre><p>Me neither, my only goal is to have a working solution at some point in time. I'm not even sure if I want to share my code, since it's an absolute mess...</p></pre>drakonka: <pre><p>So is mine; I just submitted my first messy brute force iteration of day 3 part 1. Going to clean it up and try some other approaches after part 2 is done. I am not looking at the solutions in the other repos posted here until after getting at least one solution of my own that I'm satisfied with (so not peeking at anything day 3 related yet). There is always a bit of a facepalm moment when I open some of the other approaches and see ways of doing it that I hadn't even thought of.</p></pre>ajgrf: <pre><p>Sweet, I just joined too.</p></pre>colezlaw: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/colezlaw/advent2017">https://github.com/colezlaw/advent2017</a> - I'll warn you, my responses are not the most concise because I'm trying to make sure I've tested everything as much as possible before submitting my answers. I don't stay up late enough to even possibly end up on the leaderboard, so I'm trying to write good code, not get my solution done the quickest.</p></pre>drakonka: <pre><p>I am the same way - I'm using it as an opportunity to try different ways of implementing the solutions and benchmarking their performance. I'm printing simple performance reports to text files for each puzzle, it might be fun to try and build some simple UI in Go to display them later.</p></pre>ajgrf: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/ajgrf/advent" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ajgrf/advent</a></p></pre>Pie_Napple: <pre><p>There is a buch of them in here: <a href="https://github.com/kodsnack/advent_of_code_2017" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kodsnack/advent_of_code_2017</a></p></pre>TheCi: <pre><p>Not the most graceful pieces of code, but they work

<p>I coached kids in programming and am using using AoC with them. I'm going for testable and concise to help teach patterns. </p></pre>drakonka: <pre><p>Nice! I am using it to try out different approaches and test their speed. Not the most elegant AoC repo, but I'm learning from it.</p></pre>__Red_: <pre><p>I’ve been using repl.it but this has inspired me to create a repo</p></pre>mdwhatcott: <pre><ul>

<p>Feel free to fork the 2017 repo and checkout the "blank" branch to get started with some helpful scaffolding already in place.</p></pre>Kraigius: <pre><p>This is pretty fun. </p>
<p>I'm struggling to use the container/ring package. I can't seems to be able to construct the ring in order. :(</p></pre>marz619: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/marz619/aoc2017" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/marz619/aoc2017</a></p></pre>ddooo: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/ddo/advent" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ddo/advent</a> just done the day3 without creating the grid :)</p>
<p>no bonus yet. </p></pre>drakonka: <pre><p>Nice. I managed to do part one without creating the <em>whole</em> grid, but for part two ended up generating the entire thing. </p></pre>ddooo: <pre><p>yeah i still thinking about the part 2 solution without creating the grid. possible?</p></pre>kindermoumoute: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/kindermoumoute/adventofcode2017" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kindermoumoute/adventofcode2017</a></p></pre>
