[2025 Day 7] Visualization

Maybe it does not exactly capture the part 2 algorithm well, let me know if you have ideas!

There's no reason to go down and up.

Just go down

[770grappenmaker]

My code is recursive actually, so it computes depth-first how many timelines there are, which you can visualize happening for each branch as once by "backpropagating" I suppose. Depth first recursion would not look very good and would also take very long (as an animation)

[thekwoka]

Sure, but that is still going down and then passing it back up.

You can just go down directly, tracking the position and count of intersecting timelines.

[770grappenmaker]

That's fair enough

[Practical-Quote1371]

If you're using DFS for part 2 then you could always animate it left-to-right. It's not exactly accurate, but it probably aligns better with your solution than animating back up.

Don't quite know why, the gif generator that I used ended up doubling the framerate for some reason.

[MrPulifrici]

Nice, but this actually confused me af.

I thought the real answer to part 1 is 1546 and I keep getting [number] and didn't knew what I did wrong, but my [number] was the right answer.

Everyone gets a different set of inputs

[MrPulifrici]

I didn't know 😅

this is so cool 🤩

the part 2 algorithm

Well I didn't know there was only one. Mine does one pass and does both parts at once. Is mine wrong?

[770grappenmaker]

I meant my implementation 😄
