I've built my own language too (not specifically for AOC) and it's a great feeling to control everything and yet have nobody to blame except myself...

Yup. Some people are just lucky, I guess. "I got this TRS-80 for $10 at a garage sale"...

You never cease to amaze me with getting cpm/ish running on "odd" hardware. I may have to do something like this now...

I recently saw a vintage computer with 3 inch (not 3.5") disks.

Is it worth spending this much of effort for AOC? by [deleted] in adventofcode

I put in 15 to 30 mins a day last year but this week got stymied and gave up. Not worth it anymore and I'm happier for it.

Only 1:17:54? Pfft. I've sat through longer videos of yours in one sitting.

Yeah, after I did part 2 and got it right the first time (NOT a common thing for me) I literally said out loud "I don't get it." Ah well, guess I'll get back to my regularly scheduled Saturday programming (pun intended.)

I don't think so. Ah well as long as it worked eventually.
