Advent of Code 2019 - Day 9
Another day, another addition for the Intcode computer. We only needed to handle a new parameter mode and a new opcode today. With my
design of the computer these additions were pretty easy and it didn't take very
long. Also according to the problem…
Advent of Code 2019 - Day 8
The problem of today was about decoding pixels for an "image". The first part was to determine which of the layers of the image contained the
most zeroes and the second part was to print out the image data to get the
password. Code Benchmarks
Advent of Code 2019 - Day 7
The problem today was an application of our Intcode interpreter that we wrote
on day 5. Part 1 was very easy to do with my existing design of the Intcode machine but
for part 2 I needed to change a few things. First of all I added different
ExitCode…
Advent of Code 2019 - Day 6
Today's problem was about finding paths in a graph of orbits. The first part was easily solvable using some recursion to get the total number
of direct and indirect connections. The second part was to find the distance
between two specific orbits…
Advent of Code 2019 - Day 5
The task today was to extend the interpreter written on day 2 with new opcodes. Implementing the new opcodes was not difficult but handling the different modes
for the parameter and overall design was a bit of work. Overall this was very
interesting…
