1 --- 2 title: "2023, Day 1" 3 date: 2023-12-01T19:16:44-08:00 4 draft: false 5 --- 6 7 I was on the fence about participating in Advent of Code[^aoc] again this 8 year, and then I heard about [December 9 Adventure](https://eli.li/december-adventure): 10 11 > The December Adventure is **low key**. The goal is to write a little bit 12 > of code every day in December. 13 14 Having recently started a new job, this sounds perfect. 15 16 I decided to follow up on my [recent experiments with PostScript]({{< ref 17 "/posts/postscript-graph-paper/index.md" >}}) and write some 18 [uxntal](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal.html). I was playing with uxn 19 over a year ago with the intention of writing a game to help me learn Morse 20 Code, and I'd like to get back to it. 21 22 Tonight I spent most of my time fussing with my programming environment (I'm 23 trying out [left](https://100r.co/site/left.html) for the first time) and 24 setting up [my 25 repository](https://git.eamoncaddigan.net/december_adventure_2023/log.html). 26 27 [^aoc]: I completed all 50 stars in 2021's calendar while on parental leave 28 ([code 29 here](https://git.eamoncaddigan.net/advent_of_code_2021/file/README.md.html)), 30 and got 42 last year ([some code 31 here](https://git.eamoncaddigan.net/advent_of_code_2022/file/README.md.html)).
