1//! # Boiling Boulders
2//!
3//! The lava droplet is a fixed size so we can use a one dimensional fixed size array to store the
4//! cube data for speed.
5//!
6//! For part two we use the [flood fill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill) algorithm
7//! starting from any corner to fill the outside space with water. We then use the same exposed
8//! edge counting approach as part one, but only considering faces that touch a water drop.
