Oh, hello! Funny seeing you here.
|
||||
|
||||
Our sponsors help make AoC possible:
|
||||
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you aren't going to find much down here.
|
||||
There certainly aren't clues to any of the puzzles. The best surprises don't
|
||||
even appear in the source until you unlock them for real.
|
||||
|
||||
Novetta - Unleash your imagination. Innovate at Novetta.
|
||||
Please be careful with automated requests; I'm not Google, and I can only take
|
||||
so much traffic. Please be considerate so that everyone gets to play.

--- Day 1: No Time for a Taxicab ---
|
||||
If you're curious about how Advent of Code works, it's running on some custom
|
||||
Perl code. Other than a few integrations (auth, analytics, ads, social media),
|
||||
I built the whole thing myself, including the design, animations, prose, and
|
||||
all of the puzzles.
|
||||
|
||||
Santa's sleigh uses a very high-precision clock to guide its movements, and the clock's oscillator is regulated
|
||||
by stars. Unfortunately, the stars have been stolen... by the Easter Bunny. To save Christmas, Santa needs you
|
||||
to retrieve all fifty stars by December 25th.
|
||||
The puzzles probably took the longest; the easiest ones were around 45 minutes
|
||||
each, but the harder ones took 2-3 hours, and a few even longer than that. A
|
||||
lot of effort went into building this thing - I hope you're enjoying playing it
|
||||
as much as I enjoyed making it for you!
|
||||
|
||||
Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the advent calendar; the
|
||||
second puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants one star. Good luck!
|
||||
If you'd like to hang out, I'm @ericwastl on Twitter.
|
||||
|
||||
You're airdropped near Easter Bunny Headquarters in a city somewhere. "Near", unfortunately, is as close as you
|
||||
can get - the instructions on the Easter Bunny Recruiting Document the Elves intercepted start here, and nobody
|
||||
had time to work them out further.
|
||||
- Eric Wastl
|
||||
|
||||
The Document indicates that you should start at the given coordinates (where you just landed) and face North.
|
||||
Then, follow the provided sequence: either turn left (L) or right (R) 90 degrees, then walk forward the given
|
||||
number of blocks, ending at a new intersection.
|
||||
|
||||
There's no time to follow such ridiculous instructions on foot, though, so you take a moment and work out the
|
||||
destination. Given that you can only walk on the street grid of the city, how far is the shortest path to the
|
||||
destination?
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
• Following R2, L3 leaves you 2 blocks East and 3 blocks North, or 5 blocks away.
|
||||
• R2, R2, R2 leaves you 2 blocks due South of your starting position, which is 2 blocks away.
|
||||
• R5, L5, R5, R3 leaves you 12 blocks away.
|
||||
|
||||
How many blocks away is Easter Bunny HQ?
|
||||
|
||||
To begin, get your puzzle input.
