--- Day 13: Care Package ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As you ponder the solitude of space and the ever-increasing three-hour roundtrip for messages between you and Earth, you
|
|||
|
|
notice that the Space Mail Indicator Light is blinking. To help keep you sane, the Elves have sent you a care package.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's a new game for the ship's arcade cabinet! Unfortunately, the arcade is all the way on the other end of the ship. Surely,
|
|||
|
|
it won't be hard to build your own - the care package even comes with schematics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The arcade cabinet runs Intcode software like the game the Elves sent (your puzzle input). It has a primitive screen capable
|
|||
|
|
of drawing square tiles on a grid. The software draws tiles to the screen with output instructions: every three output
|
|||
|
|
instructions specify the x position (distance from the left), y position (distance from the top), and tile id. The tile id is
|
|||
|
|
interpreted as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• 0 is an empty tile. No game object appears in this tile.
|
|||
|
|
• 1 is a wall tile. Walls are indestructible barriers.
|
|||
|
|
• 2 is a block tile. Blocks can be broken by the ball.
|
|||
|
|
• 3 is a horizontal paddle tile. The paddle is indestructible.
|
|||
|
|
• 4 is a ball tile. The ball moves diagonally and bounces off objects.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, a sequence of output values like 1,2,3,6,5,4 would draw a horizontal paddle tile (1 tile from the left and 2
|
|||
|
|
tiles from the top) and a ball tile (6 tiles from the left and 5 tiles from the top).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Start the game. How many block tiles are on the screen when the game exits?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 284.

|
--- Part Two ---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The game didn't run because you didn't put in any quarters. Unfortunately, you did not bring any quarters. Memory address 0
|
|||
|
|
represents the number of quarters that have been inserted; set it to 2 to play for free.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The arcade cabinet has a joystick that can move left and right. The software reads the position of the joystick with input
|
|||
|
|
instructions:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• If the joystick is in the neutral position, provide 0.
|
|||
|
|
• If the joystick is tilted to the left, provide -1.
|
|||
|
|
• If the joystick is tilted to the right, provide 1.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The arcade cabinet also has a segment display capable of showing a single number that represents the player's current score.
|
|||
|
|
When three output instructions specify X=-1, Y=0, the third output instruction is not a tile; the value instead specifies the
|
|||
|
|
new score to show in the segment display. For example, a sequence of output values like -1,0,12345 would show 12345 as the
|
|||
|
|
player's current score.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Beat the game by breaking all the blocks. What is your score after the last block is broken?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your puzzle answer was 13581.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Both parts of this puzzle are complete! They provide two gold stars: **
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At this point, all that is left is for you to admire your Advent calendar.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you still want to see it, you can get your puzzle input.
