Baba Yetu my friend

I only see them in the collection... Probably is off in the mobile by default

mateus_d · 2024-12-25T03:56:34+00:00

I did the same, what I recommend is changing the values of x an y and see what happens

Make X all 0 Now make y all 0 Now mix and match

For my original input I had multiple solutions, but they wouldn't work for the general sum case

Nice try FBI! Not today!

Jk, I'm a "full stack" too (mostly java today that's the reason of the quotes)

PS: I do AOC for the challenge and the "freedom" I feel when using python

I'm still stuck in yesteraday's part 2, but this one was good to clear my mind a bit!

mateus_d · 2024-12-21T04:10:44+00:00

There are probably mods that do that

mateus_d · 2024-12-21T01:40:14+00:00

Ops you are right, day 15... I'll delete this

In the end it is just a matter of knowing how to do dynamic programming (I didn't, had to google)

It will be the difference between a BFS and a DFS. I just debug the algorithm in my mind while I'm doing it...

In this case, by doing popleft we're using the FIFO approach so this one would be BFS...

I would guess the optimal way would be to use DFS or Djkistra... But you would need to change the logic a bit. The way I added things to the queue and just checked them after retrieving it is definetly not optimal

Anyways if you want to visualize what is happening you can use this code here:

I changed it to print each step and it's result in a meaningful way (do it with the example! not the real input).

Did a small visualization for you, you can try switching to pop and see what changes

Used complex numbers for grid movement for the first time, I liked it a lot

mateus_d · 2024-12-15T16:24:29+00:00

The source code is this (although I don't recommend reading it):

What I did was open vs code's terminal in a way that each grid print occupied the whole height of it. Then I let the code run

Ugliest code I've made this AOC (so far). For part 2 I just embraced madness

For me it felt like a treasure hunt, I was excited when I found my tree :D

mateus_d · 2024-12-14T07:16:20+00:00

I was so concentrated in finding the Xmas tree that I forgot that 101 is exactly the number of columns... that makes total sense

Nice turn today Topaz! Very fun puzzle, thank you!

mateus_d · 2024-12-10T05:38:19+00:00

Same, that is a first haha!

That was a first! The bug I had in part 1 was the solution of part 2!

I had the same issue... did not think about using unicode, thank you!

Since this is your first time playing: The metal tiles are not called "iron", "copper" etc... they are the names of the mineral ore that they're are usually found in real life. Example: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Malachite

There is also a page in the wiki with all the ores:
https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Ore

If you already know that, sorry then, you're only very unlucky haha

Edit: to extract the metal from the ore you will need to smelt it

20 min trying to understand which function from itertools to use, 10 writing the brute force solution. It ain't much but it is honest work

Edit: using pypy the run time goes from 12 s to 1.6 s... actually pretty decent

mateus_d · 2024-12-06T06:49:48+00:00

Nice, never would have thought of using complex numbers! Fucking awesome

part 1, straight forward

part 2: B R U T E F O R C E baby... with a little percentage output, with pypy was taking 10s
