hac VS Advent_of_Code_in_Pascal

HAC's "Semantics" target now sets up identifier lists, a feature that happens to match the need for a smart editor's auto-complete feature. In particular, the LEA team seems to be happy about that new development.

HAC: release 0.2 with an interface between a program being run by HAC and the program running HAC as an embedded compiler. If you feel confused by reading that, it is normal ;-). Perhaps the following blog post will help clarifying things... https://gautiersblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/hac-as-embedded-compiler.html List of HAC releases here: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac/commits/master

Web site: http://hacadacompiler.sf.net/ From there, links to sources, and an executable for Windows.

HAC: release 0.1 with support for packages; improvement of the VM with instructions that do the job of two or more instructions. List of changes here: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac/commits/master

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.
