• Hi,
  another solution is (and faster):
  repeat foreaver
  do move forward
  if not wall to the right
  then turn right
  else if not wall to the left
  then turn left

• Thanks for posting. Your solution is indeed fast. But it works only with this maze setup. If I change the start/end position then it wont work. The second solution that I posted works in any scenario.

• I doubt it. If a maze is a big (squared) circle with a path leading to the center (exit point) I think both "program" could loop the circle

• Nope, will solve any puzzle, see, it doesn't do anything complicated, the second solution just follows a wall the whole time, so any path that is possible to get to in the third dimension will be traced by that program.

• *second dimension :P

• [code language="js"]
  Maze.turnLeft();
  while (true) {
  if (!Maze.isWallRight()) {
  Maze.turnRight();
  Maze.moveForward();
  }
  if (!Maze.isWallLeft()) {
  Maze.turnLeft();
  Maze.moveForward();
  }
  Maze.moveForward();
  Maze.checkTimeout();
  }
  [/code]

• This one also works.
  [code language="js"]
  while (true) {
    if (!Maze.isWallRight()) {
      Maze.turnRight();
    }
    if (!Maze.isWallLeft()) {
      Maze.turnLeft();
    }
    Maze.moveForward();
    Maze.checkTimeout();
  }
  [/code]
  Cheers

• 4 lines:

  repeat forever
  if (wall ahead or (not wall to the left or not wall to the right))
  turn randomly
  move forward

• Your solution doesn't always work. It can get stuck in a loop in the upper right lane

• plzzz...can anyone help me with installing BLOCKLY...cant figure it out at all...and i am sure a lot of novice like me is in a fix.....plz help us out....:)

• i like to use the if - else if - else to its fullest ... and only use statements once ...
  [code]
  while (true) {
  if (!Maze.isWallLeft()) {
  Maze.turnLeft("44");
  } else if (Maze.isWallForward()) {
  Maze.turnRight("61");
  } else {
  }
  Maze.moveForward("1");
  Maze.checkTimeout("8");
  }
  [/code]
  reverse if you wish it to follow the right wall instead of the left ...

• [code language="java"]
  while (!false) {
  if (Maze.isPathForward()) {
  Maze.moveForward();
  continue;
  }
  if (Maze.isPathRight()) {
  Maze.turnRight();
  continue;
  }
  if (Maze.isPathLeft()) {
  Maze.turnLeft();
  continue;
  }
  if (Maze.isPathBackward()) {
  Maze.turnLeft();
  Maze.turnLeft();
  }
  }
  [/code]

• This is great but the on-line feature doesn't have blocks that can be amended to that option, and the code itself can't be modified.
