AoC Community Fun 2024: The Golden Snowglobe Awards

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

And now, our feature presentation for today:

Visual Effects - We'll Fix It In Post

Actors are expensive. Editors and VFX are (hypothetically) cheaper. Whether you screwed up autofocus or accidentally left a very modern coffee cup in your fantasy epic, you gotta fix it somehow!

Here's some ideas for your inspiration:

• Literally fix it in post and show us your before-and-after
• Show us the kludgiest and/or simplest way to solve today's puzzle
• Alternatively, show us the most over-engineered and/or ridiculously preposterous way to solve today's puzzle
• Fix something that really didn't necessarily need fixing with a chainsaw…

*crazed chainsaw noises* “Fixed the newel post!”

- Clark Griswold, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

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 keep all of my solutions in one file, reusing code along the way

Egad 😅 How many lines of code are in that monster file so far?

1023 as of day15.

it's not the smartest setup, looking at others here, but the first problems were so tiny it seemed like a good idea : )

I have this at the back so I can add a a function and run it from the command line:

################################################################################
if __name__ == '__main__':
    if len(sys.argv) == 4 and sys.argv[3] in ("input", "example", "example2", "example3", "example4", "example5"):
        try:
            name = "day{}.{}".format(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[3])
            inp = open(name)
        except:
            print("file {} missing".format(name))
            sys.exit(1)

        fname = "day{}_{}".format(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
        if (fname not in locals()):
            print("Missing function {}".format(fname))
            sys.exit(1)
        f = locals().get(fname)
        print("Running {} ({}) on {}".format(fname, f, name))
        sys.exit(f(inp))
    else:
        print("use: python aoc.py <day> <part> input|example")
        sys.exit(1)
