Keep all content related to advent of code in some way
If what youre posting relates to a day, put in brackets the year and then day number in front of the post title (e.g. [2024 Day 10])
When an event is running, keep solutions in the solution megathread to avoid the community getting spammed with posts

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)
You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Haskell. For part 2 I just wrote 10000 text files and went through them by hand. I quickly noticed that every 103 seconds, an image started to form, so it didn't take that long to find the tree.

Code

import Data.Maybe
import Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP
import qualified Data.Map.Strict as M

type Coord = (Int, Int)
type Robot = (Coord, Coord)

int :: ReadP Int
int = fmap read $ many1 $ choice $ map char $ '-' : ['0' .. '9']

coord :: ReadP Coord
coord = (,) <$> int <*> (char ',' *> int)

robot :: ReadP Robot
robot = (,) <$> (string "p=" *> coord) <*> (string " v=" *> coord)

robots :: ReadP [Robot]
robots = sepBy robot (char '\n')

simulate :: Coord -> Int -> Robot -> Coord
simulate (x0, y0) t ((x, y), (vx, vy)) =
    ((x + t * vx) `mod` x0, (y + t * vy) `mod` y0)

quadrant :: Coord -> Coord -> Maybe Int
quadrant (x0, y0) (x, y) = case (compare (2*x + 1) x0, compare (2*y + 1) y0) of
    (LT, LT) -> Just 0
    (LT, GT) -> Just 1
    (GT, LT) -> Just 2
    (GT, GT) -> Just 3
    _        -> Nothing

freqs :: (Foldable t, Ord a) => t a -> M.Map a Int
freqs = foldr (\x -> M.insertWith (+) x 1) M.empty

solve :: Coord -> Int -> [Robot] -> Int
solve grid t = product . freqs . catMaybes . map (quadrant grid . simulate grid t)

showGrid :: Coord -> [Coord] -> String
showGrid (x0, y0) cs = unlines
    [ [if (x, y) `M.member` m then '#' else ' ' | x <- [0 .. x0]]
    | let m = M.fromList [(c, ()) | c <- cs]
    , y <- [0 .. y0]
    ]

main :: IO ()
main = do
    rs <- fst . last . readP_to_S robots <$> getContents
    let g = (101, 103)
    print $ solve g 100 rs
    sequence_
        [ writeFile ("tree_" ++ show t) $ showGrid g $ map (simulate g t) rs
        | t <- [0 .. 10000]
        ]
