This is a horrible room, no matter what I try, I can only ever accomplish three pressure plate hits before the snake goes into a dead end.
Even worse, apparently, if I made my little program correctly, the only loop lengths which allow more than 3 repetitions are:
- either multiples of 10; out of the question, the snake will never kill itself,
- OR an odd number, which is not a possible cycle length when moving orthogonally.
So, uh, what?
Am I supposed to create something more complex than a loop with one dead-end and then calculate snake preferences into the future for 10s of turns? (Or well, guess and check... Not fancy doing either of those two.)
Big hint, please...
