What's the main difference (besides submitting an answer faster than anyone else) between Project Euler and AoC? I find both rather similar (and I can do Project Euler any time of the year)
- Jtsummers 5y agoProject Euler problems seem to be all math based, at least as far as I've seen. Advent of Code problems have numbers as results (most of the time), but aren't always based on some mathematical formulation(s). See 2019's IntCode puzzles for instance for something very far from Project Euler. They also had the side-effect of benefiting anyone who spent time refactoring their initial versions to create a better interface, a later day (23?) has you run 50 IntCode computers concurrently and communicating with each other. This became very hard to actually implement for many people because of the structure of their simulator and how they'd handled concurrent simulations earlier.
