Parnic	b71f1dc5b2	Spruce up day 10 visuals a bit ... Add some more constants to help with making things look good and unicode-y.	2023-12-14 21:18:56 -06:00
Parnic	27628abd48	Day 12 ... Part 1 was my own, but was far, far too slow for part 2. I couldn't find a way to optimize it and didn't want to get stuck on the day forever, so I cribbed a solution from a Reddit post explaining a much faster way to solve it.	2023-12-14 21:17:37 -06:00
Parnic	de681b23e7	Day 13	2023-12-13 10:47:00 -06:00
Parnic	bbf18aac9f	Day 11 ... I've got an off-by-one in ExpandGrid that only seems to affect expanding by more than one. I don't know what that is yet.	2023-12-11 11:51:33 -06:00
Parnic	59637e4eff	Better day 10 renderer ... This adds constants for box-type-drawing characters and expands the logger's support for printing colored chunks without needing a newline. The result is quite nice! Credit to r/adventofcode for the idea :)	2023-12-10 12:21:38 -06:00
Parnic	4cac4bd164	Day 10 ... I needed some help on part 2. Solving for enclosed points in a polygon is...not my forte.	2023-12-10 01:11:26 -06:00
Parnic	a98c34a9df	Day 9 ... Alright then. Not quite the difficulty I was expecting from a weekend problem this year.	2023-12-09 09:12:38 -06:00
Parnic	1da4a195aa	Day 8 ... This one felt good. And I hit a new personal best on the global leaderboard of 562/404.	2023-12-07 23:31:57 -06:00
Parnic	0ba5d244f5	Day 7 ... I probably should have just tried replacing the J's with every possible card, but alas...this terrible thing works.	2023-12-07 21:13:13 -06:00
Parnic	11a8465853	Day 6 ... Thanks for the reprieve.	2023-12-06 07:47:14 -06:00
Parnic	a64c43e2e6	Day 5 ... I...I know there's a way to map all the ranges together to build intersections and make a smart decision about this, but I just...don't really want to do that. This brute force approach finishes in about 55 seconds in Debug and 5 seconds in Release on my PC in a single thread, which...is fine. For now.	2023-12-05 01:29:37 -06:00
Parnic	a1a833f9a1	Day 4 ... This is more what I was expecting for the first few days.	2023-12-04 08:24:42 -06:00
Parnic	828f89cca2	Fix ReadAllText ... I guess I've either never used this or only used it for one-line files because it was only ever returning the last line of the file.	2023-12-03 14:41:34 -06:00
Parnic	411898e9f4	Much better day 3 solution ... This moves all the actual handling to the parse function (so that part 2 can run on its own instead of requiring part 1 to fill its data structure for it). Now each part is just operating on the segment of the parsed data that is appropriate to it, and we can much more efficiently handle gears as we come across numbers instead of trying to search for numbers after finding a gear.	2023-12-03 14:29:01 -06:00
Parnic	47dec863e7	Day 3 ... I have a much more robust idea for part 2, but I don't feel like implementing it tonight.	2023-12-03 01:12:50 -06:00
Parnic	89d4713467	Day 2	2023-12-02 08:41:15 -06:00
Parnic	7c6694af02	Day 1 ... It's messy and it took me a frighteningly long time to get part 2 correct (not a good sign...) but it is finished.	2023-11-30 23:59:59 -06:00
Parnic	4547803969	Initial commit, prep	2023-11-22 15:06:15 -06:00
