š Santa's Warehouse Forklift Challenge - Day 4 š
Join the Elves in optimizing Santa's warehouse operations! This canvas solves Advent of Code 2025 Day 4, where you'll help forklifts navigate piles of paper rolls to access gift-wrapping supplies.
The Challenge: Paper rolls (@) are stacked on a warehouse grid, but forklifts can only access rolls with fewer than 4 adjacent neighbors. In Part 1, we calculate which rolls are initially accessible. In Part 2, we simulate the iterative removal process - as rolls are taken, previously buried rolls become accessible!
What You'll Learn:
⨠Grid-based adjacency algorithms
š Iterative state transformation patterns
š Efficient data structure manipulation
š Problem decomposition with modular functions
The Solutions:
Part 1: Identifies initially accessible paper rolls
Part 2: Calculates total removable rolls through iterative processing
Perfect for learning algorithm design with a festive twist! š
