🎄 - 2023 DAY 8 SOLUTIONS -🎄

Day 8: Haunted Wasteland

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)

APL

I'm using this year's AoC to learn (Dyalog) APL, so this is most likely a pretty terrible solutions. I would've liked to use ⍣ instead of of my imitation of a while loop with a recursive function, but I couldn't figure out how to get to the number of iterations ⍣ performed to arrive at the destination. If someone here knows how to do that (or has other suggestions for improvement) I'm open for suggestions.

⎕IO ← 0       ⍝ use 0-based indexes
I←⌷⍨∘⊃⍨⍤0 99  ⍝ "sane" indexing
⎕PP←17        ⍝ print integers with up to 17 significant digits without use of scientific notation

instructions←⊃input
p←↑{0 2 4 I{6⍴⎕CSV⍠'Widths'(3 4 3 2 3 1)⊢⍵'S'1}⍵}¨ 2↓input
nodes←,1↑[1]p
L←(⍳⍴nodes) ∘.{nodes[⍺]≡⍵ 1 ⌷p} ⍳⍴nodes
