Advent of Code 2024
Advent of Code 2024
Anyone else doing it? I am doing the first 3 days today to catch up. Just finished the first one!
Doing it with Rust to get more familiar with it. If anyone wants to talk about specific puzzles, we can do it using spoiler tags!
There is a community for it here: https://programming.dev/c/advent_of_code
!advent_of_code@programming.dev
Has quite active solution threads etc.
I'm learning rust from scratch this year. Already two days behind due to being too busy though
4ReplyThank you! Since we cannot guarantee regarding federation I created the thread for my Beehaw fellows

I'm doing it in Python, thought about Go but I didn't get far last year with Rust so I decided to keep it simple. I'm through the first 3 days and cooking up an unorthodox approach to day 4
3ReplyYup, I'm learning Rust this way over at https://github.com/brckd/advent-of-code-2024 using a handy template I found.
Regarding the puzzles, I was able to solve all of them so far using
these tools.
regex, itertools and some bruteforce >:D
I already joined a private leaderboard, but if more people are interested, we could create one too.
1ReplyHey this is cool :) time to catch up!
1ReplyI'm doing it in python. I was going to do c# since I'm more used to it but python is better for small scripts like these. It's also my first year of doing it and yeah I really need to improve my coding style.
