No big trouble today, just a bit of careful debugging of my part 2 logic for which I was greatly helped by some Redditor’s testcase 🙏

Happy to have gotten it all in the single flood fill function without any extra passes.

Takes about 3 seconds to solve both parts for live data, caused primarily by my terrible fill function in FieldCoords which repeatedly refills and dedups already discovered cells. I promised myself when I wrote it that I would revisit it, but I really can’t be bothered right now. Sorry Kai.

LATE EDIT: Thanks to Quant for the inspiration to revisit this. With his code snippet and the realisation that I should normalise all fields to remove wasted space, runtime is now down to 55ms.

Rust

I essentially used flood fill to collect each region. Part 1 was then relatively easy: for each point, check how many neighbors are outside of the region.

Part 2 took me forever, and I ended up looking for hints online, where I discovered that an easy way to count the number of sides is to instead count the number of corners. Doing this for “normal” corners (e.g. in a square) was relatively easy, but “reverse corners” took me a long time. Corners like here what we see in the NE corner of the first C in the third row here:

....
..C.
..CC
...C

I’m more or less happy with my solution, but my brain is now totally fried.

Filling to find regions was easy. Counting areas was easy. Counting fences was okay. Counting sides caused me a lot of frustration as I tried and rejected a number of approaches, eventually arriving at a reasonably simple corner-counting approach. None of this was helped by all the examples lacking at least two important layouts, causing today to be the first day that I ran out of hints for wrong answers :-(.

Nim

Runtime: 7ms 3.18 ms

Part 1: I use flood fill to count all grouped plants and keep track of each border I see.
Part 2: I use an algorithm similar to “merge overlapping ranges” to count spans of borders (border orientation matters) in each row and column, for each group. Resulting code (hidden under spoiler) is a little messy and not very DRY (it’s completely soaked).

Edit: refactored solution, removed some very stupid code.

proc groupSpans(borders: seq[(Vec2, Dir)]): int =
  ## returns number of continuous groups of cells with same Direction
  ## and on the same row or column
  var borders = borders
  var horiz = borders.filterIt(it[1] in {U, D})
  while horiz.len > 0:
    var sameYandDir = @[horiz.pop()]
    var curY = sameYandDir[^1][0].y
    var curDir = sameYandDir[^1][1]
    for i in countDown(horiz.high, 0):
      if horiz[i][0].y == curY and horiz[i][1] == curDir:
        sameYandDir.add horiz[i]
        horiz.del i
    sameYandDir.sort((a,b)=>cmp(a[0].x, b[0].x), Descending)

    var cnt = 1
    for i, (p,d) in sameYandDir.toOpenArray(1, sameYandDir.high):
      if sameYandDir[i][0].x - p.x  != 1: inc cnt
    result += cnt

Areas are found by flooding, in the meantime whenever the adjacent plot would be outside the region (or out of bounds) the edge (inside plot, outside plot) is saved in a perimeter list. Part 1 takes just the size of that list, in part 2 we remove fence parts and all entries directly next to it on both sides.

Uiua

I spent a while thinking about how to best do a flood fill in Uiua when I saw that ⊜ (partition) works beautifully with multidimensional markers: “Groups are formed from markers that are adjacent along any axis.”, meaning I just had to convert all letters into numbers and I’d get all indices belonging to a field into an array.
For part 2, I cheated a bit by coming here and reading that you only need to count the edges. To my surprise, the second part is actually a bit faster than part 1. Takes less than 0.2 seconds each though :D

Had to rely on an external polygon library for this one. Part 1 could have been easily done without it but part 2 would be diffucult (you can even use the simplify function to count the number of straight edges in internal and external boundaries modulo checking the collinearity of the start and end of the boundary)

Implementing flood fill or something like that would have been smart, so I didn’t do that. Instead I used a sparse-but-still-way-too-big-and-slow block matrix representation, which takes several minutes to compute the region partitions for the real problem.

Part 1: Simple DFS counting up the cells and exposed edges

Part 2: Still DFS, however I chose to keep track of all segments of the area, merging them if two segments connected. In the end, number of non-overlapping, non-intersecting segments is equal to number of sides. Not the most efficient solution, but it works.

Detecting regions is a floodfill. For Part 2, I select all adjacent tiles that are not part of a region and group them by the direction relative to the closest region tile, then group adjacent tiles with the same direction again and count.
