@MSz Would it be possible to see screen captures of some complex test cases result like Grid ou 12 ? I would love seing what is an optimal solution to those tests.
I saw that you made 900k points on level 12, incredible.

@a76a44 I have just added to the PM a link to a replay with test 12.

Thanks for sharing, really interesting. Using teleports really changes the game and the road map in that level.
On my side I started the challenge very late so I didn’t have time to modelize the game engine, I just massively used an old A* algorithm, just simple things and I finished around #71 and now #48 with minor adjustements.
Despite the first impression I loved this challenge, at first glance I tought it would be impossible to do anything without massive simulation but in fact the tests are really well constructed and allow to progressively enhance the algorithm. The thing I particularly loved was the submission in one minute, allow to try and fail (ou succeed) very fast.
Like most of you said, a 2 weeks challenge would have better fit with my personal agenda :slight_smile:

Anyway, congrats to the creator of this challenge and to CG !
