I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024. I also got a nice animation out of it. I didn't capture the animation of Part 1 but you can run this yourself. Get it from my GitHub. #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/15

Today's challenge was interesting. It was vague and that left me wondering how I would ever find this. Heuristics to the rescue!

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024. Because I used math rather than brute force, the part 2 of this problem was no challenge. I will push this code late today or tomorrow as it is still morning. #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/13

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024. This was one where the part 2 was deceptively difficult. It would have worked if I had a computer with lots and lots of RAM. After various approaches to break memory usage, I went with DP. #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

You can argue about whether it’s better to duel with swords or guns. With swords, you’re more likely to get cut, but with guns you have to step away and then turn and fire.
