If you’d like a Christmas-themed programming challenge, then give Advent of Code a try!

I’ve been keeping up as best as I can (I’m a day behind but I’ll get caught up today), and, of course, I’m solving the puzzles in MakeCode Arcade!

If you get stuck on any of the puzzles and need help, then just holler! Have fun, MakeCoders!

Hints on importing your puzzle data into MakeCode

I use Notepad++, but you can use any text editor that understands regular expressions.

  1. Copy the data from your web browser.
  2. Paste the data into a blank document in your text editor.
  3. Make the following replacements:
    • Replace ^ with ", which places a quotation mark at the start of each line.
    • Replace $ with ",, which places a quotation mark and a comma at the end of each line.
    • You now have a list of strings!
  4. Copy the new text from your text editor.
  5. Create a TypeScript file in your MakeCode project to hold your data.
  6. Create a string array variable for your data:
    let smallData: string[] = [
]
  7. Paste the copied list of strings in between the brackets that define your string array.
