All my Advent of Code repos:
- AoC 2015 in Nim, Python
- AoC 2016 in Python, Clojure
- AoC 2017 in Nim, OCaml, Python
- AoC 2018 in Nim, Python, Racket
- AoC 2019 in OCaml, Python
- AoC 2020 in Nim, one liner-y Python, Racket
- AoC 2021 in Python, Racket
- AoC 2022 in Python, Clojure
- AoC 2023 in Clojure (this repo)
Last year I have used Clojure for the first time. I really liked the language (I've also written about how to make Clojure solutions faster), and I've decided it will be my main language this year.
As a preparation for this year, I used Clojure for AoC 2016 and I experimented with the quil library to make some visualizations.
This year, I plan to do as much visualizations as I can, using the same library.
I currently don't have the time to solve in multiple languages, but I suspect I'll add solutions in some different language at some later date.
| Task | Clojure | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Day 00: Helper file | aoc.clj | Utilities I use to solve the tasks. |
| Day 01 | day01.clj | Tougher than expected for day 1. |
| Day 02 | day02.clj | Immediately calculate maximums. |
| Day 03 | day03.clj | Tedious parsing. |
| Day 04 | day04.clj | Set as a predicate for keep. |
| Day 05 | day05.clj | Toughest one so far. |
| Day 06 | day06.clj | Will the real Day1 please stand up? |
| Day 07 | day07.clj | Changing card representation is the real MVP. |
| Day 08 | day08.clj | Underwhelming to see that to be solution for part 2. |
| Day 09 | day09.clj | .esreveR |
| Day 10 | day10.clj | No BFS needed. |
| Day 11 | day11.clj | Off-by-one trap! |
| Day 12 | day12.clj | Immutability, meet my friend atom. |
| Day 13 | day13.clj | My helper functions to the rescue. |
| Day 14 | day14.clj | Very slow solution. There must be a better way. |
| Day 15 | day15.clj | Advent of Reading. |
| Day 16 | day16.clj | Is this a cousin of Day 10? |
| Day 17 | day17.clj | Consider only L/R directions, and then go straight as far as you can. |
| Day 18 | day18.clj | TIL about Shoelace formula and Pick's theorem. |
| Day 19 | day19.clj | Simpler ranges than Day 5. |
| Day 20 | day20.clj | Some manual searching through the input needed. |
