Day 13: Claw Contraption

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Rust

    Hardest part was parsing the input, i somehow forgot how regexes work and wasted hours.

    Learning how to do matrix stuff in rust was a nice detour as well.

                let rx = gx - ax * a_press;
                let ry = gy - ay * a_press;
