Creepy Corridors
This challenge is inspired by a board game I played some time ago.
The story of this challenge doesn't necessarily have to be read, the goal of the challenge-section should explain everything necessary.
The Story
People are locked inside a large room with a human-devouring mon...
I would further define the teleportation functionality; something like If the monster steps onto a letter, it will be teleported to this letter's second appearance and not change its direction. There will only ever be zero or two of any letter on the board..
@JonathanFrech The monster wouldn't be able to turn right if there was a wall to the right of it. Thanks for you test case, although I can't use it, since i specified the teleporter locations to be constant.
Hm. I think it would be more interesting if they were not constant, but your decision. (As is, one could hardcode a position mapping table, rather than reading it from the input.)
The monster wouldn't be able to turn right if there was a wall to the right of it. If so, I think you should specify turn. My intuitive understanding would allow for things like this.
1) I think your second test case has the wrong output. 2) If map dimensions are dynamic, you should maybe specify some rules they need to follow (like that the monster will always be enclosed). 3) Now that you allow dynamic room sizes / object placement, my first test case should be a valid input. :P
@JonathanFrech 1) You sure? I checked it and it seems fine, what should it be in your opinion? 2) Why should the monster always be enclosed, not even in the first test case. 3) Alright, added it, really nice test case!
2) I meant that there is no way for the monster to ever wander off; though -- as I now see -- this is already given as the monster will eventually find a human. Ignore that thought.
