+# Advent of Code 2024
+
+This is my second year trying the AoC. This time I decided to take this
+as an excuse to improve my C++ skills, so I'll use that instead of C.
+
+As last year, my solutions are not commented, but feel free to send
+me an email at sebastiano@tronto.net if you want to know how I solved
+each problem!
+
+## Template
+
+This time I am trying to use a decent template for each day. Here are the
+instructions in case you want to use it.
+
+To start a new day run
+
+```
+$ ./init N
+```
+
+For example, to start day 7 you should run:
+
+```
+$ ./init.sh 7
+```
+
+and the script is going to create a folder `07` and copy some template
+files there. Then you can copy the `input` file into that folder, edit
+`dayNNa.cpp` and once your code is ready you can run
+
+```
+$ make arun
+```
+
+To run the first part with the downloaded input file. You can also use
+`make atest` to take the input from standard input, so you can copy-paste
+the test case into your terminal; press Ctrl-D to enter and EOF and
+terminate the input.
+
+For second part you can edit the file `dayNNb.cpp` and run `make btest`
+and `make brun`.
