Rust

Hardest part was parsing the input, i somehow forgot how regexes work and wasted hours.

Learning how to do matrix stuff in rust was a nice detour as well.

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use nalgebra::{Matrix2, Vector2};
    use regex::Regex;

    fn play_game(ax: i128, ay: i128, bx: i128, by: i128, gx: i128, gy: i128) -> i128 {
        for a_press in 0..100 {
            let rx = gx - ax * a_press;
            let ry = gy - ay * a_press;
            if rx % bx == 0 && ry % by == 0 && rx / bx == ry / by {
                return a_press * 3 + ry / by;
            }
        }
        0
    }
