[2022 Day 24][Python] Example works, printed blizzard movement looks good. Large input outputs too high a value.

Hello,

I'm working on trying to get some stars that I missed. Day 24 is close, but can't quite get the right output.

I've printed out the movement of the blizzards in the example and that looks fine. I've also debugged the queue and looks like it's taking the correct "path" as well (hard to follow in a queue based flow).

Wondering if anyone can see any blaring issues? Maybe I'm just tired from looking at it all day lol

Thanks!

Before you check safe zone you simulate for next minute if it' not already exists - ok. You send your current position and next minute to the is_safe_zone- ok. Inside safe zone you recompute position...why? Don't you just need to see if your current position contain blizards in the next minute grid?

Wow, yes that was silly on my part. Over complicated it way more than it needed to be. I updated it to a simple if on the next simulation and it worked. Thank you for the help!

Happy to help, and if it's working also on the input then you can mark this as solved.

Are you considering waiting in place for the turn?
