Python day 17 solution (GitHub). Not the fewest lines of code, but used dataclasses and modular functions to try improve readability -- I got very confused with keeping track of indices of velocities vs coordinates in other people's posted solutions. I find dataclasses in Python can be a great way to be descriptive about the quantities you are iterating

Python day 15 solution (GitHub) using Networkx for graph algorithm and Numpy for building the bigger grid. Solutions to other days available in this repo

Python day 14 solution (GitHub). Tried splitting out the logic into individual functions to aid readability.

Python day 13 solutions (GitHub). Using Dataclasses to improve readability

Python solution (GitHub) using Gauss formula for part 2

Python solution using deque (GitHub). Much faster than my first attempt, lol

Python day 5 solutions using Bresenham's algorithm (Github)

Python solution day 4 OOP (GitHub). Probably not the fewest lines of code but uses dataclasses and OOP to manage the states of each bingo card

Python day 2 solution (GitHub)

Python day 1 solution (GitHub) using numpy's convolve function for sliding window calc

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 :-)
