Java - A bit smarter / faster
Quite a bit of code there. I's trying to be faster by evaluating the pushes in order of "how likely is this to free a way to the treasure", which itself is based on two Dijkstra traversals (one stops when encountering rocks, the other ignores rocks). It's working pretty nicely, and the one example from the pastebin that appears to be troublesome for the author is solved in circa 2 seconds by this implementation. Some other examples take up to 30-40 seconds, which I still find too long, but I couldn't find a way to improve on that without breaking the stuff :)
I've split my stuff in several files to get a better structure out (also why I switched to Java from ruby):
Entry point:
import java.util.Date;
public class IndianaJones {
public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
final Maze maze = new Maze(System.in);
final Date startAt = new Date();
final int solution = maze.solve();
final Date endAt = new Date();
System.out.printf("Found solution: %s in %d ms.",
solution < Integer.MAX_VALUE ? solution : "X",
endAt.getTime() - startAt.getTime());
}
}
Direction helper enum:
enum Direction {
UP(-1, 0), DOWN(1, 0), LEFT(0, -1), RIGHT(0, 1);
public final int drow;
public final int dcol;
private Direction(final int drow, final int dcol) {
this.drow = drow;
this.dcol = dcol;
}
public final Direction opposite() {
switch (this) {
case UP:
return DOWN;
case DOWN:
return UP;
case LEFT:
return RIGHT;
case RIGHT:
return LEFT;
}
return null;
}
}
An abstract class to represent a located part of the "maze":
abstract class PointOfInterest {
public final int row;
public final int col;
protected PointOfInterest(final int row, final int col) {
this.row = row;
this.col = col;
}
public final boolean isAt(final int row, final int col) {
return this.row == row && this.col == col;
}
@Override
public final String toString() {
return getClass().getSimpleName() + "(" + row + ", " + col + ")";
}
@Override
public final int hashCode() {
return row ^ col;
}
@Override
public final boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this == obj)
return true;
if (!(obj instanceof PointOfInterest))
return false;
if (!getClass().equals(obj.getClass()))
return false;
final PointOfInterest other = (PointOfInterest) obj;
return row == other.row && col == other.col;
}
}
And finally, the maze itself:
