2022 Take-Home Challenge
I ended up not getting the gig but HOW CUTE IS THIS DASHBOARD??
Made with Vue.js.
Pizza Challenge
Part 1
Maria is delivering pizzas to an infinite two-dimensional grid of houses. She begins by delivering a pizza to the house at her starting location; a dispatcher then calls via radio and tells her where to move next.
Moves are always exactly one house to the north (^), south (v), east (>), or west (<). After each move, Maria delivers a pizza to the house at her new location. The dispatcher has been a little spacey lately, so Maria sometimes ends up delivering more than one pizza to the same house.
Examples:
>delivers pizzas to two houses: one to the house at the starting location, and one to the house directly east of the starting location.^>v<delivers pizzas to four houses in a square; the house at the starting/ending location ends up with two pizzas.^v^v^v^v^vdelivers a bunch of pizzas to some very lucky people at only two houses.
Question: Given the string of dispatcher inputs in this file, how many houses receive at least one pizza?
Part 2
The next day, to speed up the process, Maria rents a pizza-delivering goat named Clovis. Maria and Clovis begin at the same starting location, and they both deliver a pizza to this starting house. Maria and Clovis then take turns moving based on the dispatcher's instructions.
Examples:
^vnow delivers pizzas to three houses; Maria goes north and Clovis goes south.^>v<now delivers pizzas to three houses; Maria and Clovis both end up back where they started.^v^v^v^v^vnow delivers pizzas to 11 houses; Maria treks north and Clovis treks south.
Question: Given the same string of dispatcher inputs as in Part One, how many houses receive at least one pizza?
Part 3
Various driver speeds.
