AoC Day 12 and managed to solve 18 out of 24 problems! Definitely planning to do it next year. some were doing it with 8 different programming languages was a lot of fun

LOL

AoC Day 10

AoC Day 9 1st part was easy, and the 2nd part was to find the biggest possible rectangle area from a given set of coordinates that act as the boundary. I'm sure there were better solutions, but I figured I could just draw the coordinates and even the bounds across all coordinates, and then manually look for the biggest square/rectangle I could draw. At first I thought that circle looking shape was a bug, but nope it actually was the shape with a centered square thing inside it. I think it would've been easier if it were a some kind of rectangle like this After that, I picked like 5–10 points that I thought were big enough, looped through those, checked the areas, found the biggest, and there it was. I honestly didn’t think this would work, but it was very satisfying that it actually did.

The DIY Piano Project: V2 IS HERE! After the frustration of the wooden prototype (V1), I have made some upgrades. While I still used wood for the main body structure, I completely changed the core components. I took two cheap kids' digital pianos and merged them, overhauling the electronics underneath the keys. The Key Upgrade: The heart of this V2 is a new mechanical keyboard matrix. This gives me a satisfying and flawless 26-key rollover—meaning no more missed notes, even when slamming complex chords! The result is a seamless, full-size 6-Octave piano controller! It's responsive, and it works perfectly. I've invested the time to build the perfect tool, and now I have absolutely no excuse left to learn how to play piano!😁

Before I show you the massive upgrade, let's look back at where this project started: my first attempt to build a custom piano controller! I wanted a functional, cheap MIDI controller, so I built the V1 out of wood, bolts, and the guts of an old external USB keyboard. It looked homemade, but it was a true proof-of-concept. The Problem: Despite the effort, it was an unsuccessful build for actual playing. I ran headfirst into the dreaded N-key rollover issue. If I tried to play more than three notes at once (i.e., any complex chord), the keys wouldn't register! The frustration was real, but it gave me the blueprint for what I needed to build next.

*context Day 5 of advent of code there's probably a very very very easy way of solving this problem using sets or some claver trick that is the right way of excluding duplicate ranges but very happy I manage to do it with my weird / unnecessarily complex if else a very very bad code I am sure bad source code

I have always been curious how news channels and streamers create live overlays. I tried building and animating a custom overlay on the web, but Chromium in OBS was not ideal as it turned out, so I ended up making it work as a desktop application instead. Hopefully, I will add more customization to it over time and make it useful for someone.
