Getting ready - Advent of Code 2020

[larshp]

Advent of Code is a yearly virtual event taking place in December. Every day features new programming exercises, which can be solved in your programming language of choice.

Just like nabheetscn suggested last year, let's do this in ABAP!

Advent of Code

 

ABAP Template

I will be sharing my solutions on GitHub, in preparation I've made a template which can be used:

https://github.com/larshp/abap-advent-2020-template

Click "Use this template" to clone all the code to your own repository.

 

Renaming

To avoid name clashes, there is an option to automagically rename all objects in the repository(including code references), first adjust the rename settings in abaplint.json,

abaplint.json

And run:

npm install && npm run rename

 

Additional Features

• Editing code via GitHub Codespaces has been configured


• Predefined abaplint configuration


• Github actions setup

 

As preparation I did a few of the first exercises from last year, see https://github.com/larshp/abap-advent-2019

 

When the event starts, feel free to share links to your GitHub repositories in the comments below 🙂
