--- Day 19: Tractor Beam ---
|
||||
|
||||
Unsure of the state of Santa's ship, you borrowed the tractor beam technology from Triton. Time to test it out.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're safely away from anything else, you activate the tractor beam, but nothing happens. It's hard to tell whether
|
||||
it's working if there's nothing to use it on. Fortunately, your ship's drone system can be configured to deploy a drone to
|
||||
specific coordinates and then check whether it's being pulled. There's even an Intcode program (your puzzle input) that gives
|
||||
you access to the drone system.
|
||||
|
||||
The program uses two input instructions to request the X and Y position to which the drone should be deployed. Negative
|
||||
numbers are invalid and will confuse the drone; all numbers should be zero or positive.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, the program will output whether the drone is stationary (0) or being pulled by something (1). For example, the
|
||||
coordinate X=0, Y=0 is directly in front of the tractor beam emitter, so the drone control program will always report 1 at
|
||||
that location.
|
||||
|
||||
To better understand the tractor beam, it is important to get a good picture of the beam itself. For example, suppose you
|
||||
scan the 10x10 grid of points closest to the emitter:
|
||||
|
||||
X
|
||||
0-> 9
|
||||
0#.........
|
||||
|.#........
|
||||
v..##......
|
||||
...###....
|
||||
....###...
|
||||
Y .....####.
|
||||
......####
|
||||
......####
|
||||
.......###
|
||||
9........##
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, the number of points affected by the tractor beam in the 10x10 area closest to the emitter is 27.
|
||||
|
||||
However, you'll need to scan a larger area to understand the shape of the beam. How many points are affected by the tractor
|
||||
beam in the 50x50 area closest to the emitter? (For each of X and Y, this will be 0 through 49.)
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was 217.
|
||||
|
||||
--- Part Two ---
|
||||
|
||||
You aren't sure how large Santa's ship is. You aren't even sure if you'll need to use this thing on Santa's ship, but it
|
||||
doesn't hurt to be prepared. You figure Santa's ship might fit in a 100x100 square.
|
||||
|
||||
The beam gets wider as it travels away from the emitter; you'll need to be a minimum distance away to fit a square of that
|
||||
size into the beam fully. (Don't rotate the square; it should be aligned to the same axes as the drone grid.)
|
||||
|
||||
For example, suppose you have the following tractor beam readings:

|

In this example, the 10x10 square closest to the emitter that fits entirely within the tractor beam has been marked O. Within
|
||||
it, the point closest to the emitter (the only highlighted O) is at X=25, Y=20.
|
||||
|
||||
Find the 100x100 square closest to the emitter that fits entirely within the tractor beam; within that square, find the point
|
||||
closest to the emitter. What value do you get if you take that point's X coordinate, multiply it by 10000, then add the
|
||||
point's Y coordinate? (In the example above, this would be 250020.)
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was 6840937.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
