Day 17 - Two Steps Forward [Revival of Code 2023 - Advent of Code 2016]
Python Discord is doing an event called Revival of Code, where we work through the 2016 Advent of Code, one challenge every two days. The day 17 challenge, Two Steps Forward, involves taking an MD5 hash of the path taken so far with a salt to determine which direction I can move next, trying to find both the shortest and longest path through a maze.
