noulith VS a2tools

[LANGUAGE: noulith] fork

You might like noulith, a hobby language written by the person who won several of the recent Advent of Code events.

The about on GitHub reads "slaps roof of [programming language]* this bad boy can fit so much [syntax sugar] into it."

They even used the language in the most recent event Advent of Code and won. https://github.com/betaveros/noulith

noulith is an interesting and elegant language for coding competitions. It's not really general purpose but has some ideas that could filter into general purpose languages.

Thanks for a great competition. I found another community I greatly enjoy to a be part of. Thank you Eric for a great place to be you created. Thanks to all the crazy people participating in this. I expected it to be competitive, but the reality goes over any limit. I learned a lot from the solutions of others.

Noulith 24/22

my face when someone makes a language optimized for advent of code

I think you are talking about betaveros right? If you check his github, he has a repo talking about it noulith. As I understood, it's a language he developped, that uses Rust compilor.

Here's the code: https://github.com/colinleroy/aoc2022/blob/master/a2tools/src/aoc/day23/day23.c

I only did part 1 tonight, somebody's literarlly doing Redditor wife at the office door.

Here's the (awful) code (it was less awful at the beginning when I didn't have to shrink everything to struct arrays with members have multiple purposes)

Well. I suck at doubly-linked lists so I shift one position at a time. This is quite a number of CPU cycles, but it's going to be quite a number of cycles anyway so let's leave it at that and spend the evening doing something else!

Here it is :)

I didn't do part 2 yet.

I'm stopping at part 1 because I guess part 2 would take days even if I figure out a good algorithm. Here's the code.

Quite happy with my solution for part 1, it runs in under a minute on the //c.

The night, for part 2. But the Apple 2 screen's not wide enough to use the hgr page as memory, so I need an array, but also there's not enough main ram to store char[350][170]... So I use this and it is slow (I should be able to improve it quite a bit though) https://github.com/colinleroy/aoc2022/blob/master/a2tools/src/lib/bool_array.c

So off we go read the input file twice, the first time to get the map boundaries, the second time to setup the bool array : part 1 using 2kB of RAM.
