Advent of Code
|
||||
|
||||
--- Day 8: Two-Factor Authentication ---
|
||||
|
||||
You come across a door implementing what you can only assume is an implementation of two-factor authentication
|
||||
after a long game of requirements telephone.
|
||||
|
||||
To get past the door, you first swipe a keycard (no problem; there was one on a nearby desk). Then, it displays a
|
||||
code on a little screen, and you type that code on a keypad. Then, presumably, the door unlocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, the screen has been smashed. After a few minutes, you've taken everything apart and figured out how
|
||||
it works. Now you just have to work out what the screen would have displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
The magnetic strip on the card you swiped encodes a series of instructions for the screen; these instructions are
|
||||
your puzzle input. The screen is 50 pixels wide and 6 pixels tall, all of which start off, and is capable of three
|
||||
somewhat peculiar operations:
|
||||
|
||||
• rect AxB turns on all of the pixels in a rectangle at the top-left of the screen which is A wide and B tall.
|
||||
• rotate row y=A by B shifts all of the pixels in row A (0 is the top row) right by B pixels. Pixels that would
|
||||
fall off the right end appear at the left end of the row.
|
||||
• rotate column x=A by B shifts all of the pixels in column A (0 is the left column) down by B pixels. Pixels
|
||||
that would fall off the bottom appear at the top of the column.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here is a simple sequence on a smaller screen:
|
||||
|
||||
• rect 3x2 creates a small rectangle in the top-left corner:
|
||||
|
||||
###....
|
||||
###....
|
||||
.......
|
||||
|
||||
• rotate column x=1 by 1 rotates the second column down by one pixel:
|
||||
|
||||
#.#....
|
||||
###....
|
||||
.#.....
|
||||
|
||||
• rotate row y=0 by 4 rotates the top row right by four pixels:
|
||||
|
||||
....#.#
|
||||
###....
|
||||
.#.....
|
||||
|
||||
• rotate column x=1 by 1 again rotates the second column down by one pixel, causing the bottom pixel to wrap back
|
||||
to the top:
|
||||
|
||||
.#..#.#
|
||||
#.#....
|
||||
.#.....
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, this display technology is extremely powerful, and will soon dominate the
|
||||
tiny-code-displaying-screen market. That's what the advertisement on the back of the display tries to convince you,
|
||||
anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
There seems to be an intermediate check of the voltage used by the display: after you swipe your card, if the
|
||||
screen did work, how many pixels should be lit?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was _____.
|
||||
|
||||
--- Part Two ---
|
||||
|
||||
You notice that the screen is only capable of displaying capital letters; in the font it uses, each letter is 5
|
||||
pixels wide and 6 tall.
|
||||
|
||||
After you swipe your card, what code is the screen trying to display?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was _____________.
