Anders Englöf Ytterström 0eb961d31c Solve 2024:11 p1-2 "Plutonian Pebbles"
First part was solved using a list to store stones,
since I misinterpreted this paragraph:

> No matter how the stones change, their order is
> preserved, and they stay on their perfectly
> straight line.

But since the puzzle question do not require the
stones in the correct order, a list (or an OrderedDict)
is not required.

The pt 1 solution code got killed for eating all
RAM, so valuable minutes was lost trying to create
a generator instead. It failed. When searching for
clues, I ran across multiple people instead
utilizing dicts to count occourences. "but what of
the order?", I asked, and realized only the counts
was relevant.

Advent of Code 2024

Solutions for #aoc2024 in Python 3 (3.12.7).

Programming setup:

  • Lenovo Thinkpad X260
  • Arch Linux with Hyprland
  • Zed editor (Ruff, Pyright)
  • Firefox
  • Alacritty

Help scripts

Display all solved puzzles:

python aoc.py

To bootstrap a new puzzle (creates input/<day_no>.txt and output/day_<day_no>.py):

python aoc.py <day_no> new

Manually copy the puzzle input from https://adventofcode.com and paste it in input/<day_no>.txt to start coding.

wl-paste > input/<day_no>.txt

Solve separate puzzle (replace XX with the puzzle number):

python -m output.day_XX

Solve separate puzzle using stdin (replace XX with the puzzle number):

wl-paste | python -m output.day_XX
cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX

Execute separate puzzle on file save (replace XX with the puzzle number):

ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'wlpaste | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -r python -m output.day_XX

(requires entr and wl-paste, Mac users can instead use pbpaste. If you prefer X at Linux, use xclip -selection clipboard -o).

To lint files:

ls output/*.py | entr -r -c flake8 output --ignore=E741,E501,E203
