re: aoc day 19
my part 1 solution was great and now I think I have to throw it all overboard
re: aoc day 19
@socks it's just so unelegant to hack in exceptions for the new rules, I hate it
re: aoc day 19
@noiob Yeah that's totally fair
It's the kind of problem I normally hate too. I liked this one in particular because it required some thinking outside the box, but I can get why others wouldn't
re: aoc day 19, spoiler
@socks yeah I've just been translating the rules to regexes so I'm definitely cheating
re: aoc day 19, spoiler
@noiob Oh ouch
re: aoc day 19, spoiler
@socks oh great php regexes have recursion, I just can't figure it out lol
re: aoc day 19
@noiob Don't be too quick to throw away what you did! I thought I'd have to do that too but was able to reuse a lot in the end
