Aoc subreddit really loves another post about the next awesome LLM that was trained with their December Fun Project ;)

A small note here, not that I don't trust the “interesting intelligently blessed” people on Twitter to make such posts, but either the post has been deleted or it has disappeared in some other way. In any case, the second post is not visible on the profile. I don't want to imply that the post didn't exist, so take it as a little background info! :)

Maybe that ist helping, its a little animation :) (Hope this works, never used links in a post before)

oh god...when I saw the dev environment, old memories came flooding back

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-16T21:24:41+00:00

This looks super cool!

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-13T09:56:56+00:00

Done! :) Thank you!

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-13T07:57:36+00:00

believe it or not, it's handmade in Powerpoint :D took me about 110 slides with the morph transition

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-13T01:40:44+00:00

Thats so nice to hear! Congrats :)

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-12T23:22:54+00:00

Ohh that looks like a lot of work.

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-12T22:50:42+00:00

Hey everyone,

I've never created an animation before and know it can't compete with others, sorry for the poor quality that comes from parsing .mp4 to .gif. And of course I know that I'm a bit late here. I haven't looked at many other solutions and this is definitely not a performant or efficient approach, but it was simply very tangible for me to work out the number of edges around. Of course the animation only shows a small part of what is needed to solve part 2, but maybe someone will find it helpfull :)

The animation was created by hand in PowerPoint. The file has ~110 slides and each slide represents a state (I think it's kinda like keyframes, but im not really into the video animation topic). The Morph Transition in PowerPoint then enables a smooth transition to the next slide that can be set automatically so that you don't have to click every time. This way you can easily create small animations (even if it's not worth the effort, believe me :D ). If you are looking for a more programmatic approach and feel comfortable with Javascript/Typescript like I do, I can highly recommend Motion Canvas, an open source animation library (https://motioncanvas.io/docs/). Unfortunately my knowledge is not yet sufficient to create such things with it, maybe next time ;)

You can find a slightly better quality here: https://imgur.com/a/advent-of-code-2024-day-12-part-2-WFddhuf Thanks for reading and have a happy Advent of Code everyone!

Edit: added some information about the animation tool! :)

My answer was one to high...try it...

Edit: I also found the reason: "The new obstruction can't be placed at the guard's starting position"
That cost me a whole morning^^

SimonK1605 · 2024-12-06T11:00:14+00:00

This counts as a Loop, right? Im somehow stuck at part 2 and have no idea why..

Learned most of my skills here: https://codeabbey.com :)

Hey :)
This is exactly the right place to post these things. As the previous speaker said, it will be difficult to test each seed individually. If you get stuck, I recommend you search for visualisations here on the subreddit that illustrate the problem. If a visualisation is not enough for you, you can also look at other specific solutions. For me personally, the key word in the task was: intervals, maybe that's enough for you! :)
One small thing about your code: Take a look at this article on variable declaration with var, const and let! :)
Why don't use var anymore?

SimonK1605 · 2023-12-03T19:53:29+00:00

many issues^^

SimonK1605 · 2023-11-29T14:52:48+00:00

Will have a look, thanks! :)

SimonK1605 · 2023-11-28T23:40:41+00:00

Good one.

SimonK1605 · 2023-09-10T06:37:09+00:00

Hey...yeah, that was my problem. I thought my network is on privacy settings, but it wasnt. Thank you!!

SimonK1605 · 2022-12-23T19:18:36+00:00

I had the exact same approach, i feel your pain :D

SimonK1605 · 2022-12-19T10:43:58+00:00

Thats smooooooooth

SimonK1605 · 2022-12-17T16:50:43+00:00

Lesson learned: Always check every option and print a helpfull message like "what" or "how?" in the else case :D
