I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/9
Okay that was a slog. Took my time to make a nice convex hull algorithm that turned out to be basically unnecessary--part 2 depended on a *convex hull* hacky pile of code. Yuck

Better late than never!
After being discouraged by reading the question wrong, I took some time to refactor things & regroup.

I've completed "Laboratories" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/7
Had to adjust the part 2 algorithm dramatically from part 1. First try took 13 minutes to eat all 32GB on my system. 😆
Implemented a fixed array & it completes in milliseconds.

Today I learned that Zig expects you to be smart about allocating memory. Be prepared to wait a long time if you do that in an inner loop...

Anyone else playing? I'm using this as an excuse to try out Zig.
First major takeaway is all the churn in Zig has resulted in AI suggestions being complete crap for the most part.

My Tailgunner Retro Arcade game Version 1.2 is up now. Gain an extra life if you get to 50 points. Added quick links to leader board and help from the start screen.

I've had it in my head to do a Tailgunner (80's arcade) game for a while, but never got the gumption to code it--until this weekend via the "vibes"
Used gemini-cli to get it mostly working, then used github copilot for code review & a bit of refactoring. I really didn't do much coding at all...

it's been around for a few years but tweegeemee continues to prove that the only thing a machine needs in order to make beautiful art is an input for "how much did you like what i just did?", no theft or dataset required.
