with the php language at the third testcase is a bug, with the code below I solve the first and second testcase, but the third and fourth is impossible, my variable “torX” is increasing in one turn from 4 to 17 for the third level, and for the fourth the programm doesn’t change direction, it goes in the opposit direction:

    <?php
fscanf(STDIN, "%d %d %d %d",
    $lightX, // the X position of the light of power
    $lightY, // the Y position of the light of power
    $initialTX, // Thor's starting X position
    $initialTY // Thor's starting Y position
);

$torX = $initialTX;
$torY = $initialTY;
$turn = 0;
$s = 0;
$n = 0;
while (TRUE)
{
    $turn++;
    $x = "";
    $y = "";

    if($torX < $lightX){
        $x = "E";
        $torX = $torX + 1;
    }elseif($torX > $lightX){
        $x = "W";
        $torX = $torX - 1;
    }
    
    if($torY < $lightY){
        $y = "S";
        $torY += $torY + 1;
        $s = $s + 1;
    }elseif($torY > $lightY){
        $y = "N";
        $torY = $torY - 1;
        $n = $n + 1;
    }
    

    if($turn < 13 && $torY == 17){
        $torY -= $turn;
    }
    
    echo($y.$x."\n");
    error_log(var_export($torY, true));
}

and the ouput:

Standard Error Stream: 9 19 18 13 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 ...
