Advent of Code is an amazing achievement. Designing all the puzzles, writing code to generate all those different inputs for everyone, keeping the site going, somehow managing to create this wonderful community of problem solvers... I loved it last year. I've already paid my AoC++ this year. The least I can do for a month and more (because I never do a puzzle a day, and still haven't finished last year's) of fun.
This year I need to make sure I do the graph search problems properly, because I've never learned those methods and I really should.
- seanhandley 9y agoLikewise, on the graph search problems and paying the AoC++ contribution early. I don't know how Eric Wastl manages this each year but I've been participating the last two years and it's ridiculously fun!
- narimiran 9y ago> This year I need to make sure I do the graph search problems properly I'm guessing this year it might be some other 'common theme' for the tasks, and we might not see as many graph-problems as in 2016. But learning graph searches cannot hurt you either way :)
- ubertaco 9y agoAre there any good resources you'd recommend on learning how to effectively work with/search graphs?
- emartinelli 9y agoIf you want some Graph Theory challenges to solve there is a track at HackeRank https://www.hackerrank.com/domains/algorithms/graph-theory https://www.hackerrank.com/domains/algorithms/graph-theory
- justinhj 9y agoRobert Sedgewicks Algorithms II on Coursera covers a few graph search techniques
- supersonix 9y agohttps://www.redblobgames.com/ https://www.redblobgames.com/ has a great A* intro with visualizations and code. I highly recommend it.
- estomagordo 9y agoIn that case I hope he ditches assembly instead :)
