Day 10: Pipe Maze
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

btw if you put the url to nim as /c/nim@programming.dev I dont think the url bot will trigger since it does the same thing the ! format does

Edit: yeah looks like it didnt reply to me so this format works
Unfortunately then it’ll be broken for kbin users. I can do it anyway though if the bot is too annoying, just lmk.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nim@programming.dev
