As a warm up exercise, I've been doing some of the challenges that I didn't get last year.

Ah, but will a Lemmy UI have proper code block support by then?
-
I added code block support to lemmy-ui so if 0.19 comes out before then yes
If not then no but I can try to figure out a solution

Thank you!

Im excited to participate for the first time! I started learning Python in February.
I really like advent of code because it starts out real easy and then you'll eventually hit a wall where you have zero idea how to solve the problem. Thankfully, you can see how other people do it and learn a lot! Even if you did solve it on your own, other people sometimes post incredibly elegant solutions you can still learn from.
Do you mind giving a bit more info? I skimmed the about page and I understand the gist, but how do you see how others solved the problem? Do you have to wait for that puzzle to be done and then look at the leaderboard? Do some people solve these in group settings?
