# Dotted Squares
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is my second attempt at solving this problem. I had an hour to solve it the
|
||
|
|
first time, and I unfortunately came up short although I made good progress.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem asks to read input from a text file that looks like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
1 -- board width
|
||
|
|
1 -- board height
|
||
|
|
4 -- number of lines of "moves" (below)
|
||
|
|
0 0 R -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing right
|
||
|
|
0 0 U -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing up
|
||
|
|
0 1 L -- create a unit vector (0,1) facing left
|
||
|
|
1 1 D -- create a unit vector (1,1) facing down
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After parsing and validating the input, score the outcome a game where players
|
||
|
|
one and two alternatively take turns drawing lines on a board. Anytime one of
|
||
|
|
the players draws a line that creates a square from existing lines, they get a
|
||
|
|
point.
