#AdventOfCode2022

2022 Day 20: Grove Positioning System
2022 Day 21: Monkey Math
2022 Day 22: Monkey Map

I did get stuck on day 19 of last year's AoC and never finished the remaining days.

While I am waiting for day 4 of this year, I had a go at days 20 - 22 of last year.

20 and 21 were not that hard.
But part 2 of day 22 was a bit tricky. Took me some time to figure out all the tile jumps and direction changes when crossing the cube edges.

The code is not very pretty. And the edge traversal stuff only works for a flattened cube pattern which is the same as my input 🤮​.

Code is here:

I wrote this blog post about my #AdventOfCode2022 foray into #FunctionalProgramming using the #Elm 🌳 language and then completely forgot to share it! It was an interesting experience, with the main conclusion that I won't continue using Elm but that I want to keep investigating functional programming patterns and design.

Thoughts welcome 😁

Programming with PlasmaUsing the Functional Programming Language Elm for Advent of Code 2022It has been over a month now since the joyful time of Advent of Code 2022 has ended.1 In my third year of participation, I decided that I wanted to try completing the challenges in a functional programming paradigm. Functional programming is not something that has taken much foothold yet in scientific computing2, but I have been hearing about it more and more through some of the podcasts and blogs that I consume. Some of its selling points include verifiably correct software (through formal verification), enhanced testability, and robustness.

While I had high hopes for finishing #AdventOfCode2022 I ended up bailing at Day 10. It was just starting to take too long. In the beginning I thought it'd be fun to maybe do it as a #RetroComputer challenge too but wanted to give myself best chance of success. Well @instantiator had the exact same idea using the BBC micro. He details the three weeks it took him to get the Day 11 challenge done. Very interesting. #BASIC instantiator.dev/post/8-bit-su…

Thought about solving old Advent of Code puzzles, but don't have the motivation? Me too! Here's an idea: let's do one puzzle a week.

cohost.org/sol-hsa/post/994951

Sol_HSA on cohostOld Advent of Code RunsI tried solving some old advent of code years at some point, and get the itch to do so every year that I take part in AoC, but it just doesn't motivate me when it's not... "live". A couple days ago when I was discussing this on a discord someone said that one puzzle a week could work. Low-stress. And doing it in sync so that everyone (who's participating) does one puzzle a week, so we can discuss them, might keep the motivation up. So I'm proposing that next Monday, 13th of February 2033, it's 1st of December, 2015: https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/1 [https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/1] Who's with me? No time pressure, day won't change for a week.

After having spent #AdventOfCode2022 solving problems in C, I definitely feel like I have a much better understanding of the language. It was definitely interesting coding while trying to avoid unsafe functions so as not to pick up bad habits. I still can't believe I implemented a hash table for the first time without too much trouble. Still need to finish the last 9 remaining, but definitely have noticed an improvement since day 1!

My To-Do list has grown so much in December, but I haven't actually managed to do anything.

Rough To-Do list for January and February (in no particular order):
1. Spiderfire Rewrite Merge + Lots of Documentation
2. Upgrade to Iced 0.5 for die-yield-calculator
3. Finish Day 21 to 25 of
4. Try SvelteKit out for silicon.redfire.dev/ (Currently using Gatsby)
5. Improve the UI and UX of a (private) GUI software
6. Learn some HDL, either Verilog or (higher-level) Chisel
