Attempting to keep track of Advent of Code 2024
Pre-Challenge Goals:
- Try with built-in packages and libraries only first
- Stick to the end!
- Spend some time trying in some other languages too
| Day | Completed | Stars | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 - Historian Hysteria | ✅ 01/12 | ⭐⭐ | Completed with 1 built-in library. Could be done maybe better with NumPy. Rating: 😸 Easy |
| Day 2- Red-Nosed Reports | ✅ 02/12 | ⭐⭐ | Completed with 2 built-in libs. Not ultra efficient, but it works! Rating: 😸 Easy |
| Day 3 - Mull It Over | ✅ 03/12 | ⭐⭐ | Simpler than yesterdays one, but feel like wasn't very effective/pythonic with part 2. Rating: 😸 Easy |
| Day 4 - Ceres Search | ✅ 08/12 (Part 1) 09/12 (Part 2) |
⭐⭐ | Thought the diagonals were the tricky part, but you have to READ the prompt, Bloopy! Also feels very messy code. Had to enlist some help 💞👯 Rating: 😾 A bit tricky! |
| Day 5 - Print Queue | ✅ 09/12 (Part 1) 12/12 (Part 2) |
⭐⭐ | Part 2 takes a little while, very inefficient. Part 1 was easy enough, still overall easier than Day 4. Not rating easy because solved very inefficiently. Rating:😾 A bit tricky! |
| Day 6 - Guard Gallivant | ♒ 23/12 (Part 1) ❌ Part 2 |
⭐ | Part 1 took me a lot of thinking and research to do, Part 2 I can't think of any way to do it that won't take 10 million years. Brain not braining. Will revisit later! Rating: 🙀 Hard! |
| Day 7 - Bridge Repair | ✅ 29/12 | ⭐⭐ | Not so bad, but need to remember to READ THE WHOLE BRIEF. Tripped up on two minor things from not thinking properly, and overcomplicated Part 2 initially. Takes a while due to not coding very efficiently, which appears to be a running theme of mine so when all Days are complete, may revisit to beat times! Rating: 😺 Easyish |
- give a try in another language
- sort out gitignore and requirements
- Go back and see if can make code more efficient and robust (errors, typing, general efficiency)
