Found a C per-char solution, that is, no lines, splitting, lookahead, etc. It wasn't even necessary to keep match lengths for the color names because they all have unique characters, e.g. 'b' only occurs in "blue" so then you can attribute the count to that color.

int main()
{
	int p1=0,p2=0, id=1,num=0, r=0,g=0,b=0, c;

	while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
		if (c==',' || c==';' || c==':') num = 0; else
		if (c>='0' && c<='9') num = num*10 + c-'0'; else
		if (c=='d') r = MAX(r, num); else
		if (c=='g') g = MAX(g, num); else
		if (c=='b') b = MAX(b, num); else
		if (c=='\n') {
			p1 += (r<=12 && g<=13 && b<=14) * id;
			p2 += r*g*b;
			r=g=b=0; id++;
		}

	printf("%d %d\n", p1, p2);
	return 0;
}

Golfed:

c,p,P,i,n,r,g,b;main(){while(~
(c=getchar()))c==44|c==58|59==
c?n=0:c>47&c<58?n=n*10+c-48:98
==c?b=b>n?b:n:c=='d'?r=r>n?r:n
:c=='g'?g=g>n?g:n:10==c?p+=++i
*(r<13&g<14&b<15),P+=r*g*b,r=g
=b=0:0;printf("%d %d\n",p,P);}

Not too tricky today. Part 2 wasn't as big of a curveball as yesterday thankfully. I don't think it's the cleanest code I've ever written, but hey - the whole point of this is to get better at Rust, so I'll definitely be learning as I go, and coming back at the end to clean a lot of these up. I think for this one I'd like to look into a parsing crate like nom to clean up all the spliting and unwrapping in the two from() methods.

Pretty straightforward this time, the bulk of the work was clearly in parsing the input.

I had some time, so here's a terrible solution in Uiua (Run it here) :

Lim ← [14 13 12]
{"Game 1: 3 blue, 4 red; 1 red, 2 green, 6 blue; 2 green"
 "Game 2: 1 blue, 2 green; 3 green, 4 blue, 1 red; 1 green, 1 blue"
 "Game 3: 8 green, 6 blue, 20 red; 5 blue, 4 red, 13 green; 5 green, 1 red"
 "Game 4: 1 green, 3 red, 6 blue; 3 green, 6 red; 3 green, 15 blue, 14 red"
 "Game 5: 6 red, 1 blue, 3 green; 2 blue, 1 red, 2 green"}

LtoDec ← ∧(+ ×10:) :0
StoDec ← LtoDec▽≥0. ▽≤9. -@0
FilterMax! ← /↥≡(StoDec⊢↙ ¯1)⊔⊏⊚≡(/×^1⊢).⊔
# Build 'map' of draws for each game

# Only need the max for each colour
≡(⊂⊂⊃⊃(FilterMax!(="bl")) (FilterMax!(="gr")) (FilterMax!(="re")))
# part 1 - Compare against limits, and sum game numbers
/+▽:+1⇡⧻. ≡(/×≤0-Lim).
# part 2 - Multiply the maxes in each game and then sum.
/+/×⍉:

Factor on github (with comments and imports):

A solution in Nim language. Pretty straightforward code. Most logic is just parsing input + a bit of functional utils: allIt checks if all items in a list within limits to check if game is possible and mapIt collects red, green, blue cubes from each set of game.

    result.sets.add gs

        minBlue = game.sets.mapIt(it.blue).max()

      result.part2 += minRed * minGreen * minBlue


when isMainModule:

Today in Zig

Spent most of the time running down annoying typos in the tokenizer.

My solutions in C: https://git.sr.ht/~aidenisik/aoc23/tree/master/item/day2

Most of this is just reading the data, surely there's a better way to do this lol.

Ruby

Second part was soooo much easier today than yesterday. Helps I solved it exactly how he wanted you to solve it I think.

I'm going to work on some code golf now.

Golfed P2 down to 133 characters:

p g.map{_1.sub!(/.*:/,'')
m=Hash.new(0)
_1.split(?;){|r|r.split(?,){|a|b,c=a.split
m[c]=[m[c],b.to_i].max}}

Getting my head around parsing tricks for python, maybe abusing dicts as a replacement for a types, but appears to be working: https://gist.github.com/purplemonkeymad/983eec7ff0629e8834163b17ec673958

Done in C# Input parsing done with a mixture of splits and Regex (no idea why everyone hates it?) capture groups.

I have overbuilt for both days, but not tripped on any of the 'traps' in the input data - generally expecting the input to be worse than it is... too used to actual data from users

Was pretty simple in Python with a regex to get the game number, and then the count of color. for part 2 instead of returning true/false whether the game is valid, you just max the count per color. No traps like in the first one, that I've seen, so it was surprisingly easy

def process_game(line: str):
    game_id = int(re.findall(r'game (\d+)*', line)[0])

    colon_idx = line.index(":")
    draws = line[colon_idx+1:].split(";")
    # print(draws)
    
    if is_game_valid(draws):
        # print("Game %d is possible"%game_id)
        return game_id
    return 0

            
def is_game_valid(draws: list):
    for draw in draws:
        red = get_nr_of_in_draw(draw, 'red')
        if red > MAX_RED:
            return False
        
        green = get_nr_of_in_draw(draw, 'green')
        if green > MAX_GREEN:
            return False
        
        blue = get_nr_of_in_draw(draw, 'blue')
        if blue > MAX_BLUE:
            return False    
    return True
        
            
def get_nr_of_in_draw(draw: str, color: str):
    if color in draw:
        nr = re.findall(r'(\d+) '+color, draw)
        return int(nr[0])
    return 0


# f = open("input.txt", "r")
f = open("input_real.txt", "r")
lines = f.readlines()
sum = 0
for line in lines:
    sum += process_game(line.strip().lower())
print("Answer: %d"%sum)

Mostly an input parsing problem this time, but it was fun to use Hares tokenizer functions:

        game_string, cubes_string = stream.readline().split(':')
    except ValueError:
        return {}

    game: Game = defaultdict(int)
    game['id'] = int(game_string.split()[-1])

    for cubes in cubes_string.split(';'):
        for cube in cubes.split(','):
            count, color = cube.split()
            game[color] = max(game[color], int(count))

    return game

def read_games(stream=sys.stdin) -> Iterator[Game]:
    while game := read_game(stream):
        yield game

def is_valid_game(game: Game) -> bool:
    return all([
        game['red']   <= RED_MAX,
        game['green'] <= GREEN_MAX,
        game['blue']  <= BLUE_MAX,
    ])

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    valid_games = filter(is_valid_game, read_games(stream))
    sum_of_ids  = sum(game['id'] for game in valid_games)
    print(sum_of_ids)

def power(game: Game) -> int:
    return game['red'] * game['green'] * game['blue']

def main(stream=sys.stdin) -> None:
    sum_of_sets = sum(power(game) for game in read_games(stream))

Part 2:

var list = new List((await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(@".\Day 2\PuzzleInput.txt")));

int conter = 0;
foreach (var line in list)
{
    string[] split = line.Split(":");
    int game = Int32.Parse(split[0].Split(" ")[1]);
    string[] bagContents = split[1].Split(";");
        var max = new Dictionary();
    foreach (var content in bagContents)
    {
        string pattern = @"(\d+) (\w+)";

        MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(content, pattern);

        foreach (Match match in matches)
        {
            int number = Int32.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value);
            string color = match.Groups[2].Value;
            if (!max.ContainsKey(color))
                max[color] = number;
            else if(max[color] < number)
                max[color] = number;
        }
    }
    conter += max.Values.Aggregate(1, (total, value) => total *  value );

}
Console.WriteLine(conter);

Python, interesting that the readMax function that I created on part 1 was also what I needed for part 2. https://github.com/massahud/advent-of-code-2023/blob/main/day02/day02.ipynb

Is anyone else like me, but it took me longer to understand what I was supposed to do on day 2 than on day 1? However, here is my solution written in Golang: https://github.com/alexruf/adventofcode2023/tree/main/d02

Just getting started with Rust, part 1 took a long time. Really amazed when I saw part 2, just needed to add 2 lines and was done due to the approach I had taken. Feedback more than welcome!

I'll only post the actual parsing and solution. I have written some helpers which are in other files, as is the main function. For the full code, please see my github repo.
