Sep 16, 2023 at 17:46 comment added Someone Hmm…maybe we can add the meta-nonsense in a future version.

Sep 15, 2023 at 5:25 comment added xnor Could you please also clarify if not being comfortable is a condition for the bun to start running, a condition for it to continue running, or both? Also, does a bun with no escape squares presumably stay still?
Sep 15, 2023 at 3:28 comment added ATaco I'm voting to close as there's lacking clarity behind the distance a bun is comfortable for. I'll rescind my vote if this is clarified. (Perhaps provide a diagram of 'threatening' spaces?)

Clarify rules (again)
Sep 14, 2023 at 20:54 comment added ToAskOrNotToAsk @Jonah the bun runs away from you, straight ahead.
Sep 14, 2023 at 20:54 comment added ToAskOrNotToAsk Ok, a bun won't move when you are next to it diagonally, because a diagonal is manhattan distance 2 @xnor

Sep 14, 2023 at 19:30 comment added xnor "A bun is comfortable until you are closer than two squares (manhattan)" It seems like being exactly 2 squares from you in a straight line causes the bun to run? Does this apply if the bun is diagonally 1 space away from you? What happens then?
Sep 14, 2023 at 19:21 comment added Jonah Consider maze 2 in the test cases, where the bun goes to 25,1. Now assume the game continues until the player is within 2 squares again. The bun is trapped either way, but does the bun move forward or to the right, or does it not matter? Or does the bun not move at all because both are dead ends?
Sep 14, 2023 at 19:18 comment added Jonah Can input be, say, a 0-1 matrix instead of ascii?
Sep 14, 2023 at 19:03 comment added xnor Could you clarify what is an intersection for "Buns will run straight away from you if they can, until they reach an intersection."?
Sep 14, 2023 at 19:01 comment added ToAskOrNotToAsk Correct @xnor. The bun will always face away from you before it starts running. Then you know which direction its facing.
Sep 14, 2023 at 18:51 comment added xnor @JonathanAllan I think it's left relative to the direction away from you.
Sep 14, 2023 at 18:35 comment added noodle person Someone should answer this in JavaScript (Bun)
Sep 14, 2023 at 18:28 comment added Jonathan Allan "A bun will prefer to turn left, if given the choice" I assume that, since we do not know which way they are facing, this means they prefer West, South, East, and finally North on the input map? (Doesn't that invalidate the "All rotated inputs should output the same relative position" bit though?)
