This was pretty fun :-)
|
|
|
|
I spent ages fixing stupid typos and didn't realise I'd forgotten to take account for the fact that
|
|
a rotation command could contain more than 90 degrees. I submitted so many wrong answers I had to
|
|
wait 3 minutes to submit the correct one... oops.
|
|
|
|
Decided to store the direction as an {x, y} vector, and handle rotations as just flipping the
|
|
values as required. Use recursion to do it repetedly for rotations of more than 90 degrees.
|
|
|
|
NSEW operations are just simply adjusting the coordinates as required.
|
|
|
|
For F, apply the vector to the boat's current position.

Interesting. The fact that the waypoint moves when the boat moves makes this part very simple.
|
|
|
|
Thankfully I stored the rotation as a vector in part 1, which is basically the waypoint
|
|
fixed at a distance of 1. So for this part, can just adjust the NSEW commands to move the
|
|
waypoint/vector instead of the boat.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the commands are the same.

I liked this one. Figuring out how to do the rotation efficiently probably took the most time,
|
|
but I'm pretty happy with the results 😊
