@iohanna The art style here reminds me of the SNES LoTR game. Animation looks great!
@kusuriya That's a great approach. It's too easy to fall into the trap of getting tools for the tools' sake, rather by the requirements of actual projects.

@tomlawrence Indeed, also I added this to my VSCode workspace to prevent that from occurring in random spots:

```
{
"files.trimTrailingWhitespaceInRegexAndStrings": false
}
```

I had a feeling when working on part 1 that part 2 was going to be an arbitrary number of batteries to select in the bank, so my solution in part 2 was to just increase the loop count from left to right finding the highest each time.

I reduced the amount to search by slicing the bank at the point where I found the highest value moving left to right, so the search was always smaller, or O(n * log(n)) for the entire bank list.

Adults who clear out hobby stores of Pokemon cards to resell are objectively terrible, and hobby stores that don't deny these kinds of sales are equally culpable. Denying kids the ability to acquire these cards to actually play the game infuriates me as a father.
