Yeah this is more for the new instance that will be started up that will have the potential to interact with it a lot more. Want to keep federation the same across all our instances

Would programming.dev be able to participate or is it mostly oriented around countries/country instances

E.g. entering with songs from games (which usually span multiple countries for the production of them and aren't represented in these types of comps)

Blocking doesn't help if they just make new accounts each time

And yes there was a lot for awhile and now there's also spam on images from the mastodon side that's been coming in

It's only image posts and its not all posts with a picture, just if the user has basically no posts

Yeah, if that's causing the issue you might be running into a case where when trying to make the image smaller it ends up not having enough pixels to show the border properly. Typically people make textures the size of what they want the final texture size to be rather than messing with proportions afterwards due to things like that (and so you don't have to store larger images than required)

Extremely easy part 2 today, I would say easier than part 1 but they share the same sort of framework

use std::fs;

fn part1(input: String) -> i32 {
    const RED: i32 = 12;
    const GREEN: i32 = 13;
    const BLUE: i32 = 14;

    let mut sum = 0;

    for line in input.lines() {
        let [id, content] = line.split(": ").collect::>()[0..2] else { continue };
        let id = id.split(" ").collect::>()[1].parse::().unwrap();

        let marbles = content.split("; ").map(|x| { x.split(", ").collect::>() }).collect::>>();
        let mut valid = true;

        for selection in marbles {
            for marble in selection {
                let marble_split = marble.split(" ").collect::>();
                let marble_amount = marble_split[0].parse::().unwrap();
                let marble_color = marble_split[1];

                if marble_color == "red" && marble_amount > RED {
                    valid = false;
                    break;
                }

                if marble_color == "green" && marble_amount > GREEN {
                    valid = false;
                    break;
                }

                if marble_color == "blue" && marble_amount > BLUE {
                    valid = false;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        if !valid {
            continue;
        }

        sum += id;
    }

    return sum;
}

fn part2(input: String) -> i32 {
    let mut sum = 0;

    for line in input.lines() {
        let [id, content] = line.split(": ").collect::>()[0..2] else { continue };
        let id = id.split(" ").collect::>()[1].parse::().unwrap();

        let marbles = content.split("; ").map(|x| { x.split(", ").collect::>() }).collect::>>();
        
        let mut red = 0;
        let mut green = 0;
        let mut blue = 0;

        for selection in marbles {
            for marble in selection {
                let marble_split = marble.split(" ").collect::>();
                let marble_amount = marble_split[0].parse::().unwrap();
                let marble_color = marble_split[1];

                if marble_color == "red" && marble_amount > red {
                    red = marble_amount;
                }

                if marble_color == "green" && marble_amount > green {
                    green = marble_amount;
                }

                if marble_color == "blue" && marble_amount > blue {
                    blue = marble_amount;
                }
            }
        }

        sum += red * green * blue;
    }

    return sum;
}

fn main() {
    let input = fs::read_to_string("data/input.txt").unwrap();

    println!("{}", part1(input.clone()));
    println!("{}", part2(input.clone()));
}

Note weve also got an advent of code community that got started up into this instance

Community has been created at [email protected]

if you want to be a mod for it make a post in it and let me know

Version manager for pre releases since you probably don't want your main game on a pre release version but you can have a test project to test that version

Having same editor version for mods so things like bugs are the same

And when collaborating with others as well normally you stick to a certain version so you can do that while maybe doing latest version for a personal project

yep, I just made one today. Just make the first word !remindme or @remindme, or mention @[email protected] and then it should work

yeah all of the options allow cross posting but that last one is for forcing only crossposts. I can try to rewrite them in a bit with some examples. They are mutually exclusive though even though some have a bit similar rules

edit: updated the post with some descriptions and examples in there to show whats allowed and disallowed

That could work but one thing that would have to be figured out with that rule is what is categorized as interesting content as it tends to be pretty subjective so would be difficult to enforce if thats where the line is drawn

For adding relevant programming communities in the sidebar pretty much every community in the instance is relevant but could be the general topic ones like game dev, web dev, etc.
