Advent of Code 2025 - recap

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:53:08 +0200

This year marks the first time I’ve been so thorough with my documentation & problem solving. I’ve tried Advent of Code before in 2024 but I’ve given up after about day three 🤔 with no history whatsoever.

I’ve managed to fully complete 8 challenges and partially complete 2 challenges, but what I’m most proud of is how much I’ve learned & applied, from topics such as DFS with memoization to P and NP problems. I’ve never expected problems to be so complicated, and most of the topics were stuff I’ve met with only in theoretical form. Having to actually implement a working prototype is a step forward to a better understanding.

TLDR

I held a Python laboratory for my past faculty.

Homework assigments were copy-pasted or AI-resolved, and I did not want to look at the same code ten times in a row. So, using Python, Docker and the Discord API, I came up with my own automated solution, which waiting for a student’s message (in private), evaluated the submitted solution and returned a score. Basically every online coding platform, but made with bugs & error by me.
