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

C

3h+ train ride back home from weekend trip but a little tired and not feeling it much. Finished part 1, saw that part 2 was fiddly programming, left it there.

Finally hacked together something before bed. The part 2 twist required rewriting the push function to be recursive but also a little care and debugging to get that right. Cleaned it up over lunch, happy enough with the solution now!

Code

#include "common.h"

#define GW 104
#define GH 52

struct world { char g[GH][GW]; int px,py; };

static int
can_clear(struct world *w, int x, int y, int dx, int dy)
{
	assert(x>=0); assert(x<GW);
	assert(y>=0); assert(y<GH);
	assert((dx && !dy) || (dy && !dx));

	return
	    (x+dx >= 0 || x+dx < GW) &&
	    (y+dy >= 0 || y+dy < GW) &&
	    (w->g[y][x] == '.' || (
	     w->g[y][x] != '#' && can_clear(w, x+dx,y+dy, dx,dy) &&
	     (!dy || w->g[y][x]!='[' || can_clear(w, x+1,y+dy, 0,dy)) &&
	     (!dy || w->g[y][x]!=']' || can_clear(w, x-1,y,    0,dy)) &&
	     (!dy || w->g[y][x]!=']' || can_clear(w, x-1,y+dy, 0,dy))));
}

/* check can_clear() first! */
static void
clear(struct world *w, int x, int y, int dx, int dy)

	assert(x>=0); assert(x<GW); assert(x+dx>=0); assert(x+dx<GW);

	clear(w, x+dx,y+dy, dx,dy);
