⚠️ Day 19 Spoilers ⚠️

Thoughts

Good heavens. These are getting hard. And unfortunately I need to stop spending so much time thinking about them (I'd peg this one at ~7 hours of hands-on-keyboard or hands-on-paper, and ~2 hours of me thinking about 3d space while my family eats dinner around me)

But fucking fuck they're fun. Because I know they're possible, and at the beginning I can just barely imagine a solution that doesn't have holes, and then I just keep taking baby steps, and every step solves 1 little problem but exposes another. And the puzzles are so well built that even when your stuff works on the examples you still have a little logic bug in your code to hunt down.

Takeaways

I can finally use pointers confidently, and it makes things a lot easier.

The Good

• I started with all the Translation functions and data structs. Those held up well
• Just being able to make the translations/offset between a sensor and an arbitrary base sensor was a feat. Maybe I'll do a labshare on this one one day though, sure was fun to figure out.

The Bad

I didn't bother with much refactoring beyond pushing things down out of main.
