Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

I did an easy optimization for part 2, but it’s not too slow without.

import Data.Set (Set)
import Data.Set qualified as Set

readInput :: String -> [(Int, Int)]
readInput = map readCoords . lines
  where
    readCoords l = let (a, _ : b) = break (== ',') l in (read a, read b)

findRoute :: (Int, Int) -> Set (Int, Int) -> Maybe [(Int, Int)]
findRoute goal blocked = go Set.empty (Map.singleton (0, 0) [])
  where
    go seen paths
      | Map.null paths = Nothing
      | otherwise =
          (paths Map.!? goal)
            `mplus` let seen' = Set.union seen (Map.keysSet paths)
                        paths' =
                          (`Map.withoutKeys` seen')
                            . foldl' (flip $ uncurry Map.insert) Map.empty
