    Rust

    Part 2 was a bit tricky. Moving into a box horizontally works mostly the same as for part 1, for the vertical case I used two recursive functions. The first recurses from the left and right side for each box just to find out if the entire tree can be moved. The second function actually does the moving in a similar recursive structure, but now with the knowledge that all subtrees can actually be moved.

    Lots of moving parts, but at least it could very nicely be debugged by printing out the map from the two minimal examples after each round.

    Solution
    use euclid::{default::*, vec2};
    
    // Common type for both parts. In part 1 all boxes are BoxL.
    #[derive(Clone, Copy)]
    enum Spot {
        Empty,
        BoxL,
        BoxR,
        Wall,
    }
    
    impl From<u8> for Spot {
        fn from(value: u8) -> Self {
            match value {
                b'.' | b'@' => Spot::Empty,
                b'O' => Spot::BoxL,
                b'#' => Spot::Wall,
                other => panic!("Invalid spot: {other}"),
            }
        }
    }
    
    fn parse(input: &str) -> (Vec<Vec<Spot>>, Point2D<i32>, Vec<Vector2D<i32>>) {
        let (field_s, moves_s) = input.split_once("\n\n").unwrap();
        let mut field = Vec::new();
        let mut robot = None;
        for (y, l) in field_s.lines().enumerate() {
            let mut row = Vec::new();
            for (x, b) in l.bytes().enumerate() {
                row.push(Spot::from(b));
                if b == b'@' {
                    robot = Some(Point2D::new(x, y).to_i32())
                }
            }
            field.push(row);
        }
    
        let moves = moves_s
            .bytes()
