Welcome!

Welcome to my Advent of Code blog book! All of my solutions are in R with varying degrees of complexity and documentation.

Under Construction

I’m currently trying to convert this from a Quarto Book to a Quarto Blog. There ended up being too much for the Book format to handle so I’m hoping a Blog is easier to maintain.

My Favorite Solutions

• 2016-12 and 2017-08: I created a small assembly style computer that solves the problems for me given a set of registers and instructions.
• 2021-09: I used the dbscan clustering method to solve a path finding issue.
• 2022-04: While not my fastest part 1, part 2 took me just 38 seconds!
• 2022-11: I used S3 Classes and function factories for the first time, and got just a little bit better at recursion.
• 2025-09: I used geos to make polygons and check for overlap rather than trying to figure it all out myself.
