Dotted Squares
This is my second attempt at solving this problem. I had an hour to solve it the first time, and I unfortunately came up short although I made good progress.
The problem asks to read input from a text file that looks like this:
1 -- board width 1 -- board height 4 -- number of lines of "moves" (below) 0 0 R -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing right 0 0 U -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing up 0 1 L -- create a unit vector (0,1) facing left 1 1 D -- create a unit vector (1,1) facing down
After parsing and validating the input, score the outcome a game where players one and two alternatively take turns drawing lines on a board. Anytime one of the players draws a line that creates a square from existing lines, they get a point.
