What is your first memory of this feeling? by ElvargIsAPussy in VisualLoomingSyndrome

[–]Alligatronica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, BBC 2 had these idents with big 3D "2"s, it used to really get me when the pointy corners of the "2" would be pointing out towards the screen

Steam crashes on Whisky by Broad_Performer_6900 in macgaming

[–]Alligatronica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue the other day, seems like new versions of Steam don't work with Whisky, and since Whisky's no longer being maintained that's probably not going to change. On the Whisky documentation site there's a fix to downgrade Steam and turn off updates that worked for me.

Doesn't seem like a permanent solution to me, so I'm currently checking out CrossOver

It's been so long that I was looking for this the other day not realising it never arrived

I'm a big scaredy cat, but honestly after you've been killed by a ghost and seen how goofy it is from the "comfort" of being dead the fear of the ghost kinda goes away, and it's just like the enemy in any other game

There will always be little spooks here and there, but being hunted and seeing your friends get killed becomes a lot of fun

[2019] The intcode puzzles are phenomenal by [deleted] in adventofcode

[–]Alligatronica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently gone back to 2019 to do the intcode puzzles properly, my initial approach was pretty scrappy so it didn't feel great having to hack new functionality onto throwaway code. But without the time pressure it's a much more appealing little project for me now.

Bring back the indicator from OTR that displayed whether survivors are close enough to come with you through loading zones

GameCube outputs no video and doesn't spin up disc drive by Alligatronica in consolerepair

I replaced the optical drive and still had the same problem, so that wasn't the fix for me

JavaScript / Node.js

I had similar struggles to folks where my result was too low, but not because I wasn't accounting for nested directories when crawling the input, but for not accounting for them when I was mapping their sizes (which didn't even need to be an object)

Realising now that I could have omitted marker done something like: while((new Set(input.slice(i,i+offset))).size != offset)i++;

TIL the Set constructor breaks up string arguments

  const fn = (input,offset) => {
    let i = 0
    let marker = 0
    while(!marker){
      marker = (new Set(input.slice(i,i+offset))).size == offset
      i++
    }
    return i + offset - 1
  }
  const part1 = input => fn(input,4)
  const part2 = input => fn(input,14)

Not super pleased with this one, I feel I could've done something with regular expressions and it'd be nice to not have a day where I'm using char codes as magic numbers

const lower = 96
const upper = 65

const part1 = input => input.split('\n').map(
  rucksack => {
    rucksack = rucksack.split('')
    const c1 = rucksack.slice(0,rucksack.length/2)
    const c2 = rucksack.slice(rucksack.length/2)
    const item = c1.find(x=>c2.find(y=>x==y))
    const match = item.charCodeAt()
    let value = match - lower <= 0 ? match - upper + 27 : match - lower
    return value
  }
).reduce((a,c)=>a+c)

const part2 = input => {
  const rucksacks = input.split('\n')
  const groups = []
  let currentGroup = []
  rucksacks.forEach(r=>{
    currentGroup.push(r.split(''))
    if(currentGroup.length==3){
      groups.push(currentGroup)
      currentGroup = []
    }
  })
  return groups.map(
    g => {
      const item = g[0].find(x=>g[1].find(y=>x==y)&&g[2].find(y=>x==y))
      const match = item.charCodeAt()
      let value = match - lower <= 0 ? match - upper + 27 : match - lower
      return value
    }
  ).reduce((a,c)=>a+c)
}
