advent VS Advent_of_Code_in_Pascal

I've been writing generators for "jumbo" inputs to make benchmarking/profiling easier. Python's random is a bit slow for this though. https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/advent/tree/master/2022/input

I write all of my solutions to take input on stdin and write the answer to stdout. I have this bash script where I add an assertion for the test input before generating the solution. This worked pretty well last year, so I'm sticking with it.

I kept a list of public Ada solutions for Advent of Code 2020 here: https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/advent/blob/master/others/repolist

I'm doing it in Lazarus/Free Pascal again.

Free Pascal - 2251/1744 34.5 seconds runtime No objects, no recursion After brute forcing part 1, I stared at part 2 until I though only handling the different values of X,Y,Z and letting the grid represent variable size cubes.. only to hit memory size limits anyway... and then I learned how to use BITPACKED array, and was able to eventually brute force part 2. Whew!

My pascal based solver eventually got valid text out of your input.
