advent-of-code VS adventofcode

Code lives here and I scheduled a [blog post here](rope-bridge-solving-advent-of-code).

In the rest of the code I simply iterate through cubes and multiply the edges with the saved values.

Today was rough. Code is too long to post here. Github Basically using indexes and a bit of recursion for this.

It lives on Github and I made a visualization.

Python 3. Figured I'd learn some more networkx. Was useful for the "smol" attribute in the end and easily getting the neighbors. Full code is on Github.

The two scorer functions live on Github.

The full code with comments lives on Github. But here's the meat without comments for brevity:

And this is how simple it can be to build some relatively robust tests. All of this lives in a tests folder so pytest automatically finds it in a file called test_day05.py. You can see the file on Github.

Kept it fairly simple in Python. Runs in half a second for both parts together.

Code on GitHub is currently a mess.

In the spirit of the Day 5 ALLEZ CUISINE! challenge to ELI5 (Explain Like I'm Five), here's a tasty explanation of how my algorithm works using only a large bucket of Red Vines and a knife. It says to use lined paper, but if you try this at home consider aligning things on a cutting board.

Elixir code, thoughts

Elixir 1554/1502 code, reflections

Elixir 2506/3402 (24 minutes, 2 hours), code, thoughts

Bonus solution in Go (golang) because I was confused about why my Elixir solution didn't work and decided to implement from scratch in case I'd done something dumb. The Go one also got the wrong answer, but took less than 100ms instead of a minute, so I could try out lots of tweaks that didn't change the answer.

Elixir 2031/2641 after 3.25/6.5 hours! Code on GitHub

I spent time this afternoon sprucing up my helpers for the iex REPL. I spent a bunch of time poking at things in IEx the last couple days and wanted to make sure I would minimize keystrokes if I needed to debug things on my phone while drunk. Turns out Thursday night > Friday night > Saturday night in terms of difficulty, so all those macros have so far saved me zero seconds :-)
