Maze Code: Left-Wall Follower
A first maze has no loops. Keep your left hand on the wall and you will pass every corridor, including the treasure.
Maze rules that break most scripts
- Stand on a bush and call `use_item(Items.Weird_Substance, n)` to grow an n×n hedge maze. Fertilizer on plants is how you get Weird Substance.
- `harvest()` on the treasure gives gold equal to the maze area (5×5 → 25). Harvest anything else and the whole maze vanishes.
- `get_entity_type()` is `Entities.Treasure` on the chest and `Entities.Hedge` on walls you cannot fly over.
- `move()` returns False when a wall blocks you. `can_move(direction)` checks without moving. `measure()` anywhere in the maze returns the treasure coordinates.
Spawn a maze, then walk the left wall
python
def spawn_maze():
if get_ground_type() != Grounds.Soil:
till()
harvest()
plant(Entities.Bush)
size = get_world_size()
use_item(Items.Weird_Substance, size)
def solve_maze():
dirs = [North, East, South, West]
facing = 0
while get_entity_type() != Entities.Treasure:
left = (facing - 1) % 4
if can_move(dirs[left]):
facing = left
move(dirs[facing])
elif can_move(dirs[facing]):
move(dirs[facing])
else:
facing = (facing + 1) % 4
harvest()
clear()
while True:
spawn_maze()
solve_maze()After the first maze
Reusing Weird Substance on the treasure moves the chest and can punch holes in walls. Those mazes have loops, so a plain wall follower can circle forever. For leaderboard runs, use `measure()` to walk toward the chest instead of hugging walls.
