OCD Speed

I tried many times to not cheese the maze with a moves list, but the sensor cost was too much for block checks - like in the 90s range. This is the fastest (21s) I was able to get it. The game says that humans will wait on step commands, but I have noticed that they give up after a bit and just move on (very annoying to debug). It could also just be since the opening of this level is really about funneling all the people through a 1-tile gap surrounded by holes...

if n == hole and
 c != datacube:
	step sw
endif
if s == wall:
	step nw
endif
a:
if c != datacube and
 w != hole:
	step w
	jump a
endif
b:
if c == 1 and
 w != hole:
	step w
else:
	step nw
endif
if c == nothing and
 sw == 3:
	step sw
	step s
	step sw
	step w
	step w
	step w
	step nw

Ahh, thanks for posting this, especially the speed version. Turns out that if you accidentally kill any of the workers, the "error message" you get from the boss is that "all your workers have died!" -- I'd been doing basically what you posted, but I'd had a bug which was killing the bottom two workers but hadn't noticed. The message was leading me to beleive that the workers had to follow the cube path, and I couldn't see how to possibly do that in the time constraints.

Anyway, thanks again!

Boss-bot knows, but yeah, he can get a little overly dramatic if you don't kill all your workers correctly.

Thanks, I had trouble with the OCD's on this map/level/year.

Still you're not even close to getting down to best known solutions... I've really been hitting my head against the wall on this one.

I got the size OCD immediately (it was obvious just following the instructions and combining the left instructions for 4's and empties), but I can't get to the best known of 7. I get totally lost in operator juggling hell... I can only think of creating rules to identify special 4-tiles and special empty tiles where the dudes have to go up instead of left. (Or special 4-characters where they have to skip going left so it triggers an up-rule... Something like that.)

I gave up after about an hour of hitting my head against the combination of:
1) this game not having standard order of operations (evaluating and/or left to right is strange)
2) this game not allowing to bracket if conditions
3) this game not having a way to shift if-conditions up and down (which should be really easy to add and would make this condition juggling that I need because of problem 1 much less of a pita)

But maybe I'm overthinking it. Any suggestions from anyone on the REAL ocd's? :) Because the regular OCD's just don't feel like that much of an accomplishment knowing that we could still du MUCH better :/

Yeah...the version with size of 7 has some pretty gnarly if conditions. It is all a matter of getting the right conditions for the funky left to right order of ops. You said it...for some 4-tiles and some empty tiles go up instead of left. The hardest part for me was not the "when to go up" logic -- it was the "when not to go left" logic. In any case, the idea is to never go right to save those two commands.

This is super late but to do it in 7 moves:

IF #1:
If you're on a 3 or
Below you is a 3
Step down

IF #2:
If you're on a 4 or
Below you is a 4 and
Above is not a hole and
Above is not a 3 or
You're on a 1
Step up

IF #3:
If above is a hole or
Above is a 3 and
You're on a 4 or
You're on a blank and
Above is not a 4
Step left

Speed can be improved to 20s by just adding three Step(W) bling commands at the beginning:

-- 7 Billion Humans (2234) --
-- 10: Fuga de emergencia --

step w
step w
step w
if n == hole and
 c != datacube:
 step sw
endif
if s == wall:
 step nw
endif
a:
if c != datacube and
 w != hole:
 step w
 jump a
endif
b:
if c == 1 and
 w != hole:
 step w
else:
 step nw
endif
if c == nothing and
 sw == 3:
 step sw
 step s
 step sw
 step w
 step w
 step w
 step nw
 step n
 step n
 step n
 step nw
 step n
endif
jump b

Based on the cheese speed strategy, this is a kind of brute force that gets it down to 14s:

-- 7 Billion Humans (2235) --
-- 10: Emergency Escapades --
step w
step w
step w
step w
if c == datacube:
   if ne == hole:
      step sw
   else:
      if s == worker:
         step w
      else:
         step nw
      endif
   endif
else:
   if e != datacube:
      if e != nothing:
         -- 3rd row --
	 if n == hole: 
	    -- top --
	    step w
            step sw
	 else:
	    if s == wall:
		-- bottom --
		step nw
		step nw
	    else:
               if n == nothing:
		  -- top middle --
		  step w
		  step w
	       else:

	          step w

	       endif

	 endif
      else:
	 -- 4th row --
	 if n == hole: 
	    -- top --
	    step w
	    step w
            step sw
	 else:
	    if e == nothing: -- waste time
	    endif
	    if s == wall:
		-- bottom --

		step nw

	    else:

	       else:

This in pasteable code is (takes 80s):

-- 10: Emergency Escapades --

a:
if c == 3 or s == 3:
  step s
endif
if c == 4 or 
   s == 4 and
   n != hole and
   n != 3 or
   c == 1:

   n == 3 and
   c == 4 or
   c == nothing and
   n != 4:
