ADVOCadO

ADVOCadO, a silly name variation by me for ADVent Of COde (which doesn't even make sense not that I think of it). 🎄 Be merry 🎄 and EAT LOTS OF CHOCOLATE

This has become a Prolog mainly challenge (and a procrastination tool for my PhD). The current pattern is: I RIOT and drop Prolog the moment any sort of 2D array crap comes in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ To solve this issue, from 2022, I have pyvent-of-code where I code in python, and maybe for once in forever, I'll manage to finish a full year of AoC.

Notes & TODOs

2024:

• Finally committed and learned DCG (POG)

• Day 6 part 2 takes 2.5 hrs to run lol

• Day 7 takes in total 14.8 s to run (compared to combinatorial python's 19.1s POG)

• Not happening

  • Day 9 -- I did too much mutation in python, don't think it will translate well in Prolog 🥲

  • Day 15 -- 2D array moving boxes? NOPE 🙃

  • Day 16, 18 -- Dijkstra? I don't want to 🙃

  • Day 20 -- I don't want to 🙃

• Maybe??? If I have time

  • Day 14 part 2 -- checking 🎄, not sure I want to do it lol

  • Day 17 -- might be doable

2023:

• Another year, another AoC prolog attempt UwU

• Day 3 not happening

• Day 5 part 2 not working 🥲

2022:

• Survive 🥲

• Day 11, 12, 14, 16 (although they are all done in python)

• NOT DO DAY 17

2021:

• Finish it (hopium)

2020:

• Finish it (hopium)

• Use clpfd to handle numbers (Can't bother tbh, 2021 onwards should be using clpfd all the time)

• Rewrite Day 16 in Prolog with DCG

Languages

• SWI-Prolog

• Python

  • Some pre-parse in python in pyvent-of-code

  • Need to rewrite 2020 Day 16 part 2

  • 2022 / 2023 my lazy ass doing python first and try to finish AoC for once maybe. Check my pyvent-of-code for status and solutions.

Last but not least, my memes

I'm a noob 🤡. So I make memes about my sadge Prolog AoC experience and post it on r/adventofcode because why not?

2023 Day 3 - Yeah...🫠

2022 Day 16 - My cheat python solution

2022 Day 1 - My helper.pl broke probably because of the blank line

2020 Day 15 - GIT GUD USE TRIE
