On the Subject of ASCII Mazes

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The screen at the bottom of the module displays three (extended) ASCII characters of a twelve character long sequence, separated by replacement characters (�).
Use the arrows to the left and right of the screen to cycle between displays.

Convert the sequence of ASCII characters into a sequence of 96 binary digits:

  • The first six bits, when converted into octal, are used to determine the starting location.
  • The last six bits, when converted into octal, are used to determine the location of the exit.
  • The remaining 84 bits correspond to the presence of a wall within the 7×7 maze (not including edges):
      Separate the 84 bits into two equal groups:
    • The first 42 bits correspond to the vertical walls.
    • The second group of 42 bits correspond to the horizontal walls.

The colours of the four LEDs are used in conjunction with the sequence of bits.
The presence of the red, green, and blue colour channels indicate how each bit is used:

Top Left LED

  1. If the blue channel is present, the first and second octal digits are swapped.
  2. If the red channel is present, the first octal digit is one greater than the number of spaces between the right edge and the starting location.
    Otherwise the first octal digit is the number of spaces between the left edge and the starting location.
  3. If the green channel is present, the second octal digit is one greater than the number of spaces between the bottom edge and the starting location.
    Otherwise the second octal digit is the number of spaces between the top edge and the starting location.

The same rules apply to the bottom right LED to indicate the position of the exit.

Top Right LED

For each vertical division between two horizontally adjacent spaces, a wall is present if its corresponding bit, in the first group of 42 bits, is a 1.

    The colour of the top right LED affects the reading order:
  1. If the red channel is present, the divisions are read from right to left.
    Otherwise the divisions are read from left to right.
  2. If the green channel is present, the divisions are read from the bottom row to the top.
    Otherwise the divisions are read from the top row to the bottom.
  3. If the blue channel is present, the reading direction alternates each row.

The same rules apply to the bottom left LED and the second group of 42 bits to indicate the presence of the horizontal walls of the maze.

When the maze is complete, every space must be reachable from every other space and there must be no loops.

Use the directional arrows to move around the maze, avoiding the walls.

Once the exit is reached, press the "◎" button to submit your current location.
If your current location is not the exit, the module will reset your position to the starting location.

Pressing the "!" button from anywhere within the maze will reset your position to the starting location.
