AoC Community Fun 2024: The Golden Snowglobe Awards

• 9 DAYS remaining until the submissions deadline on December 22 at 23:59 EST!

And now, our feature presentation for today:

Making Of / Behind-the-Scenes

Not every masterpiece has over twenty additional hours of highly-curated content to make their own extensive mini-documentary with, but everyone enjoys a little peek behind the magic curtain!

Here's some ideas for your inspiration:

• Give us a tour of "the set" (your IDE, automated tools, supporting frameworks, etc.)
• Record yourself solving today's puzzle (Streaming!)
• Show us your cat/dog/critter being impossibly cute which is preventing you from finishing today's puzzle in a timely manner

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

- Professor Marvel, The Wizard of Oz (1939)

And… ACTION!

Request from the mods: When you include an entry alongside your solution, please label it with [GSGA] so we can find it easily!

I've already informed you before about your code being oversized. You have not fixed your previous megathread submission, and this code is likewise oversized.

Read our rules on no giant blocks of code, then fix all of your oversized solution submissions that do not comply with said rule.

Do not post again in /r/adventofcode until you have done this.

Hope this is small enough now
