Anders Englöf Ytterström 19aee1363a Solve 2024:12 p1 "Garden Groups"
Loooong time overdue. First drafts of the code
kept track of every id separately in a defaultdict.

This was not sustainable since the code examples
had some recurring ids, and after managing to
support the test cases the code was eay off for
the real puzzle input.

In the end, the whole code was deleted and replaced
by a BFS solution that expands the current regions
until it finds no more areas.

Got the trick to count all perimiters in an else clause
from a leaderboard placed youtuber.

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
