Advent of Code 2019 Solution Megathread - Day 17: Set and Forget

Jon Bristow - Dec 17 '19 - - Dev Community

Gotta get rid of the dust before space-mom comes to see our space module!

Day 17 - The Problem

Oh no! We need to save our robot helpers! There's a solar flare on the way, and we need to use our trusty IntCode interpreter to use the Aft Scaffolding Control and Information Interface to help find a sleepy robot to help us out.

Part 1 has us examining the scaffolding and calculating the value of a bunch of intersections.

Part 2 requires us to send some code into the IntCode interpreter to instruct a little robot to tell the rest of its friends to get inside.

Dev.to List of Leaderboards

If you were part of Ryan Palo's leaderboard last year, you're still a member of that!

If you want me to add your leaderboard code to this page, reply to one of these posts and/or send me a DM containing your code and any theming or notes you’d like me to add. (You can find your private leaderboard code on your "Private Leaderboard" page.)

I'll edit in any leaderboards that people want to post, along with any description for the kinds of people you want to have on it. (My leaderboard is being used as my office's leaderboard.) And if I get something wrong, please call me out or message me and I’ll fix it ASAP.

There's no limit to the number of leaderboards you can join, so there's no problem belonging to a "Beginner" and a language specific one if you want.

Neat Statistics

I'm planning on adding some statistics, but other than "what languages did we see yesterday" does anyone have any ideas?
