Oh, but I promised some pretty graphics, didn't I? Since I'm doing all this in Mini Micro, those are easy to add (you can see the code here). The GIF at the top of this post shows the movement of the rope for the Part B example. And here's the start of its motion for my real input file... though the full input makes it wander much longer, and much further from the origin. Enjoy!
Last night was Day 9 of the Advent of Code challenge, which I once again tackled with MiniScript. This was a fun and somewhat tricky problem. I did decently on Part A, but made a mistake that cost me a lot of time on Part B.
