I'll preface this post by saying that I don't know why I did this.

I've written a small C program that spits out N-orb solutions to the Eight Gates of Bill. It spits out tons of duplicates because I'm the laziest being to ever walk the earth (lazy enough to write a program to solve this room instead of doing it myself the umpteenth time or memorizing a solution for a playthrough), but you can just pipe the output through
sort | uniq
.

Here is is, secreted, beyond obvious reasons, because it's large. Variable names are strange in places so that single-letter array subscripts wouldn't get picked up as BBCode tags.

I once wrote a door riddle solver in SWI-Prolog. I only tried it on the eight gates of Bill and some riddles in Witherwood Castle but it worked for these.

Getting solutions is done by consulting the file in SWI-Prolog and then entering
solvePuzzle(S).
More answers arrive by pressing ; (semicolon).
