MODERATORS
I've done it with a new language each year in the past, but this year I decided to do it with stuff I'm very familiar with - with an added twist: I have to visualize something for each day.
So I built myself a little app/puzzle harness that serves up the sample/puzzle input and provides some boilerplate so I can just write the
x-datafor a new Alpine.js module for each day. Then I setup d3 and plan to visualize something for each day using it. For example, I just settled on a simple bar graph (final value of each row) for each part of day 1:Hoping once it inevitably gets to grids and such, I can do something more interactive. Would love to have something where I can animate or manually step through each step of the solution (such as the pathfinding algorithm last year).
That’s super cool! Thanks for sharing
