Advent of Code 2024 is going on, and I've decided to do it in PICO-8. I'll try this for as long as I can, until I either run out of tokens or can't keep up with the days. Wish me luck, and happy holidays!
Spoiler alert: if you haven't solved these puzzles yet, these visualizations will give away the answers (and potentially the algorithms). If you want to solve these puzzles yourself, do that first!
How to use
- Select any day that's available with the arrow keys and X.
- Drag and drop your puzzle input onto the game.
- Watch it go!
- When it's finished, press X or Z to get back to the previous screen.
Also, check out my blog, where I'm solving Advent of Code in Python and explaining my solutions.
Wow, solving Advent of Code with PICO-8 is a super creative idea! I always find PICO-8 interesting and feels like programming on a computer from the 80s. Advent of Code puzzles are not only about algorithms but also about expressing solutions, so using PICO-8 for visualization will be an inspiring challenge! If you need help optimizing to save tokens, please share! Incredibox Sprunki
