That got me! Ended up with some very very big numbers

Ranges are always pesky. Lots of off by one errors when I was pulling this one together. It was also the first day I caved and broke out atoms

clojure solution

This one was a high school flashback. Ended up using the quadratic formula to find the root of the curve.

clojure solution

Recursion probably made things a little trickier for you (but is totally possible). The special piece to notice in part 2 is that you are only forward creating cards and (most importantly) there are no decisions to optimize. Each card alway produces the same result.

This problem reminded me of the lantern fish problem. The trick with this one was not tracking individual fish, instead you only need the number of each generation you have (and in today’s puzzle we just need to track how many of each card you have)

My clojure solution

Ran into a couple gottchas today. Didn’t notice the tabular data at first. It got me twice, once on the numbers and then again on the card number (which I guess I didn’t actually need to use)

The second gottcha was missing that in the second part it is the number of matching numbers not the score that I needed to use. My first attempt was a very very very big number

Exactly this. Technical literacy in zoomers and Gen next is going to be worse than boomers.

Everything is fast and all the details of the technology are hidden from them

That being said I’m sure they will use technology in mind blowing ways. But have not idea how it works.

And they have enough examples of other arpgs to know stash tabs matter. PoE for example you need tons of tabs and can buy more (not at all saying D4 should do that).

Ain’t that the truth 😂

I was thinking the same thing…

Brings a new meaning to #donglelife

Just heard about Techtonica. Looks like a blast. We shall see how much of a beta it is 🤞

Nailed it 😁 Thanks!

Coffee Time one and two are good chill story games

In the same vein as slay the spire, Monster Train

Hypothetically I think a lot of us do 😉

Time to start learning flutter 🐥

Hypothetically of course 😉🤫

Looks like this was already reported on gh https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/67

I’ll start sending requests/bugs over there 😁

Are open to contributions too?

The passes in minecraft dungeon were the first I saw that were not time based. You could only contribute to one pass at a time, and could toggle at the camp.

I really hope d4 does something similar

“The Bookwalker” (the other game) looks pretty interesting too. Now I just need to put D4 down long enough to play another game

I’m at the same level. He was going so fast that my skellys couldn’t even get a swipe in. I was running away, they were chasing. It was an impossible situation
