New Level -- No Left Turn
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2021 11:38 am
This isn't really my level, which is why I'm not naming the file MUZ221 or anything like that. The actual maze layout is by Robert Abbott (and was called "Easy Maze 1") and as for the rules, I honestly have no idea who came up with them first. In any case, that doesn't really matter, since the mechanism I've built to support it in RTW is general-purpose, it can handle anything. Although it does take quite a few buttons to implement... 
In any case, this level is a proof-of-concept that mazes of this type can be successfully built and enforced in RTW. It can handle any "pure maze" layout and almost any "maze with Wonderland objects" assuming the machine still has enough generators and buttons to exist.
You can do anything, except for two things: you cannot turn left and you cannot make U-turns. Not "move" left, turn left. Yep, the mechanism changes which directions are restricted depending on the last direction you've picked! Isn't that nifty? Mirroring it will give you a no-right-turn mechanism instead, if you want that.
If your way to the exit is blocked at the end, you've either turned left or made a U-turn along the way. Don't do that!
(As mentioned, the maze layout is by Robert Abbott. I'm only taking credit for the mechanism that enforces the rules in RTW!!!)
