For day 4, I chose C. I learned C in college and it was my preferred programming language for the next decade. Obviously it has also strongly influenced many languages I've used since (C++, Java, Objective-C, etc.).

For day 3, I chose Pascal. Pascal was my introduction to structured programming and advanced data structures like linked lists and trees.

Very cool! I did the AoC 2015 Day 2 puzzle in 6502 but only ran it on a C-64 emulator (VICE). Now you're making me want to try it on an NES. 🤔

Nice! I've been having fun going back to the 2015 puzzles and doing them in different languages, roughly in the order in which I learned them. I did day 1 in BASIC. And I just finished day 2 in 6502 assembly running on a C64 emulator (VICE). Here's my emulator screenshot.

I’m doing this using languages roughly in the order I learned them. So far ive done the first three days in BASIC, 6502 assembly, and Pascal.

Part 1: Pretty straightforward. Scan the lines, create 2 arrays. When a match is found, multiply the points by 2 (or add one on the initial draw). Part 2: Used an additional array to store the amount of copies of a card. When a number matches, increase the next card to be increased by the amount of cards of the type that's currently being checked.
