Day 10: Pipe Maze

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)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

C# I had fun with this one and overbuilt it somewhat. Disappointed I didn't get/need to implement Dijkstra's algorithm.

For part two I did a x2 expand, so the example input expanded and found the middles like this (0s for the targets as their easier to distinguish):

Part 1

namespace AdventOfCode2023.Days.Ten
{
    internal class Day10Task1 : IRunnable
    {
        private HashSet<(int, int)> _visitedNodes = new HashSet<(int, int)>();

        public void Run()
        {
            //var inputLines = File.ReadAllLines("Days/Ten/Day10ExampleInput.txt");
            //var inputLines = File.ReadAllLines("Days/Ten/Day10ExampleInput2.txt");
            var inputLines = File.ReadAllLines("Days/Ten/Day10Input.txt");

            var map = new PipeMap(inputLines);
            _visitedNodes.Add((map.XCoord, map.YCoord));

            while (true)
            {
                bool haveMoved = false;
                for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
                {
                    if (map.CanMove((Direction)i))
                    {
                        map.Move((Direction)i);
                        if (_visitedNodes.Contains((map.XCoord, map.YCoord)))
                        {
                            map.Move(GetOppositeDirection((Direction)i));
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            _visitedNodes.Add((map.XCoord, map.YCoord));
                            haveMoved = true;
                        }
                    }
                }

                if (!haveMoved)
                {
                    break;
                }
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Nodes Visited: "+ _visitedNodes.Count);
            Console.WriteLine("Furthest Node: "+ _visitedNodes.Count/2);

        }
