Imagine you have a grid where some squares are walls, some are empty, and some are lights that shine for arbitrary distances in the four cardinal directions until they meet walls:

####.####
##..L....
####.##.#
####.##L.
##......L

In the above grid, the lights cover all the tiles. But in some cases, they may not be:

###
.#L
###

Your challenge is, given a grid like the one above, determine whether all empty tiles are lit up. You may take input as a matrix of characters or integers, a list of lines, newline-separated lines (as above) with any three distinct characters, etc.

An input may contain none of a type of cell.

You may output truthy and falsy with any of the following:

  • Values your language considers truthy or falsy (if applicable), or inverted
  • One truthy value and everything else is falsy, or vice versa
  • Two consistent values representing truthy and falsy

Testcases (Given in above format)

Truthy:

L

L.
.L

L....
..#L.
....L
.L...

#

L...L...L

#####.###
#L...L...
##.####L.
#.L..####

Falsey:

.

.#

L#.

.#.
.L.
.#.

L...
L...
L.#.
L...

L.

05AB1E (legacy), 21 bytes

3xŸvTyT+:yT*y∞:ζí}SßĀ

Input as a list of lines, where .L# are 012 respectively.

Uses the legacy version of 05AB1E where the ζ and : builtin works on list of strings, which would have been €SζJ and required a map over the lines in the new 05AB1E (ending up 6 bytes longer).

Try it online or verify all test cases.

Explanation:

3          # Push a 3
 x         # Double it (without popping): 6
  Ÿ        # Pop both and push a list in this range: [3,4,5,6]
   v       # Loop over each of these digits `y`:
        :  #  Replace all:
    T      #   "10"
     yT+   #   with "1y", where `y` is the current digit
           #  (which use the implicit input-list in the first iteration)
         : #  Then infinitely replace all:
    yT*    #   "y0"
       y∞  #   with "yy", where the `y` are again the current digit
    ζí     #  Then rotate once clockwise:
    ζ      #   Zip/transpose; swapping rows/columns
     í     #   Reverse each row
   }       # After the loop, we want to check if any empty spots remain:
    S      # Convert the list of strings to a flattened list of characters
     ß     # Pop and push its minimum
      Ā    # Check if this is NOT 0
           # (after which the result is output implicitly)

SnakeEx, 34 bytes

m:{d<>}{d<R>}{d<L>}{d<B>}

Uses , instead of .; to take inputs formatted as in the question, replace , on the second line with \.. Outputs one or more matches (truthy) for a room that is not fully lit, no matches (falsey) for a room that is lit. Try it here!

Explanation

Core idea: find a , which can't "see" an L in any of the four directions. If no such , exists, the room is fully lit; if such a , exists, it is not fully lit.

d:        Define a helper snake d to match
  ,+      1 or more commas
    [#$]  followed by a pound sign or the edge of the grid

m:                         Define the main snake m to match
  {d<>}                    d in the default direction (left-to-right)
       {d<R>}              and also in the direction 90 degrees clockwise (top-to-bottom)
             {d<L>}        and the direction 90 degrees counterclockwise (bottom-to-top)
                   {d<B>}  and the reverse direction (right-to-left)

97 bytes

Drop (cat-str X), use quasiliteral `@x`.

(op find #\.`@[#1=(op mapcar(op regsub #/[. ]*L[. ]*/(op regsub #/\./" ")))(transpose[#1# @1])]`)

This is an expression that evaluate so to a function which operates on sequence of strings, those being the lines of the grid.

The function returns #\., the dot character, to indicate that unlit areas remain. Otherwise it returns nil. A character is truthy, and nil is the only false value.

The logic is just regex. The regsub function matches regular expressions. If the replacement argument is a function, the matched text is passed to it and replaced with what the function returns. For the substitution we use another partially applied regsub which replaces dots with spaces.

So, in every string of dots or spaces that contains an L, we replace the dots with spaces, doing this in every string. Then we transpose the vector of strings and do it again.

Truthy example:

#####.###        #####.###        ####       ####
#L...L...  -->   #L   L      -->  #L#   -->  #L#
##.####L.        ##.####L         # .L       #  L
#.L..####        # L  ####        # #        # #
                                  # #        # #
                                  .L##        L##
                                  # ##       # ##
                                  # L#       # L#
                                  #  #       #  #

No dots remain, so everything is lit.

This main list-of-string processing action for replacing the Ls is a function. In the 109 byte version, it bound to the lexical variable l, which we then refer to twice separated by a transpose call.

In the 103 byte version, we get rid of the local variable and just repeat the code in two places using the Lisp circle notation. #1=OBJ means "OBJ, also associated with label 1". And #1# then means "reproduce the object from label 1, OBJ here". With this we can make a piece of data (i.e. piece of source code, of code is data) appear in two or more places.
