We use Visual Studio Code with Metals to write Scala code, and scala-cli to compile and run it.

You can follow these steps to set up your environement.

After you clone the repository, open a terminal and run:

$ cd scala-advent-of-code
$ scala-cli setup-ide src
$ code .

code . will open Visual Studio Code and start Metals.

In a terminal you can run:

Or, to run another solution:

$ scala-cli src -M <dayX>.<partX>

By default the solution programs run on our input files which are stored in the input folder. To get your solutions you can change the content of those files in the input folder.

The solution of day 3 is written for the javascript target. You can run it locally, if you have Node.js installed, by adding the --js option:
