Day 18: Ram Run
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

Reused my logic from Day 16. For part two I manually changed the bytes (
i
on line 271) to narrow in on a solution faster, but this solution should solve it eventually.https://blocks.programming.dev/Zikeji/c8fdef54f78c4fb6a79cf1dc5551ff4d

Wasn’t there a pathfinding problem just recently?
