I gave up on #adventofcode a few days ago. It started to feel like a chore. However, I am looking forward to #genuary. I'm going to work through some of the prompts from last year to warmup on #p5.

Here is my sole completed prompt from last year. I finally fixed the glitch from the first frame. It turned out that I needed to move the camera before drawing the mobius strip.

I just completed "Scratchcards" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/4

Old school looping FTW. I think I've used regular expressions in every puzzle this year.

I just completed "Gear Ratios" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/3

Grades are submitted. I've decided to go back to Javascript. I may yet finish more than a dozen days.

The worst part of grading a math exam is that you must first take a math exam.

Wordle is now giving life advice.

Days 3, 4, and 5 will have to wait until after grades are submitted.

I've completed "Wait For It" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/6

Part 1 was easy. Part 2 would have been quicker in Python or another language I'm more comfortable with. Due to some clumsy debugging, I managed "off by one" errors in both directions.
