Maze game with 4x4 2-head arrows
19th IOCCC (2006) winner "Best Abuse of Computation"
A very unusual 4x4 "maze" game as the author calls it, but I think this is more puzzle game. Although, it does have the maze solving component in it.
I really have no idea how to win this game, but according to hint.text:
"[...] one maze out of 2^32 that requires 64 moves to solve."
"The goal is to traverse from the upper-left to the upper-right and out the top, where the number of moves remaining is printed."
[wasd/arrow] to follow the currently highlighted arrowhead's 2 directions. [q] for quit, [r] for restart.
The source code looks interesting (0:03) and "Finally, in the world of DNA, the medium is truly the message. There's a short message encoded in here that will only appear when you complete the optimal maze in the required 64 moves."
I guess there is no way for me to read that message. I don't mind a spoiler alert, anyone?
