console.log('Hello World')
The first part was simple enough. Adding in the 3 remaining tilt methods for star 2 was also simple enough, and worked just how I figured it would. Tried the brute force solution first, but realized it was going to take a ridiculous amount of time and went back to figure out an algorithm. It was simple enough to guess that it would hit a point where it just repeats infinitely, but actually coding out the math to extrapolate that took way more time than I want to admit. Not sure why I struggled with it so much, but after some pen and paper mathing, I essentially got there. Ended up having to subract
1from this calculation, and either I'm just missing something or am way too tired, because I don't know why it's one less than what I thought it would be, but it works so who am I to complain.https://github.com/capitalpb/advent_of_code_2023/blob/main/src/solvers/day14.rs
