🎄 Day 22
In C++
A 3D problem that seemed like it shouldnt be too hard to solve with a dumber approach. I decided to create a 3D map of the bricks in memory and operate on that to make the bricks fall and then detect which are disintegratable. It worked on the example, but on the actual input the result is off by 10. The result is 451, but the program is giving 461. Ive been trying to find out whats wrong for hours, but debugging a 3D problem with this many bricks is very hard. I give up on it for now, maybe will return to it in the future. I left the debug printing commented out in the source code.
Though after the few hours of debugging, i came to the conclusion that there is probably something wrong with the bricks falling code. I have no idea what could be wrong there though.
To run part 1 or part 2, do:
$ make part1
$ make part2
