IntCode's back, but his brain is inside the robot now.

Day 11 - The Problem

Oh no! The police have pulled us over! Apparently, not properly displaying registration markings is a bookable offense. Luckily, we are able to get our registration from the control-room elves. We just need our hull painting robot to take the code and paint our mark. We do have a hull painting robot, don't we?

Part 1 has us building an IntCode interpreter powered robot. We need to send the interpreter input (the color of the hull where it's standing) and use the output to move the robot and paint the hull.

Unfortunately, the simulation goes awry, and the robot paints a deliriously beautiful but meaningless picture. Worse, it's not a registration mark. We re-calibrate our starting color, and successfully. generate our registration code to complete Part 2.

Dev.to List of Leaderboards

• 120635-5c140b9a - provided by Linda Thompson

If you were part of Ryan Palo's leaderboard last year, you're still a member of that!

If you want me to add your leaderboard code to this page, reply to one of these posts and/or send me a DM containing your code and any theming or notes you’d like me to add. (You can find your private leaderboard code on your "Private Leaderboard" page.)

I'll edit in any leaderboards that people want to post, along with any description for the kinds of people you want to have on it. (My leaderboard is being used as my office's leaderboard.) And if I get something wrong, please call me out or message me and I’ll fix it ASAP.

There's no limit to the number of leaderboards you can join, so there's no problem belonging to a "Beginner" and a language specific one if you want.

Neat Statistics

I'm planning on adding some statistics, but other than "what languages did we see yesterday" does anyone have any ideas?

Languages Seen On Day 10

• JavaScript x 2
• Python x 2
• Kotlin
• Swift

Completion Stats

By applying a best-fit descending power trend-line to the 1 and 2 star columns on the stats page, my estimates predict:

2 stars on day 25: 6358 people

1 star on day 25: 420 people. _Nice

If you're still going, take heart in that you are in a rapidly dwindling pool of people.

Doing other questionable statistics gives me: 415/6248
