Turns out the initial trial of using Manhattan distance was required to solve part 2, since the BFS implementation is impossible to scale up from 2 robots to 25. Recursion and memoization makes the execution time acceptable. Line 53 makes all the difference here. The order of `<|v|^|>` matters when constructing a sequence. Many hours was spent trying to find the correct priority. For the example input, especially 456A and 379A were volatile. |

- 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
