Maze Runner

Navigate the maze from start to finish as fast as you can.

Goal

Navigate from the start cell (0,0) to the goal cell (14,14) of a 15x15 maze.

Scoring

Number of moves taken to reach the goal — fewer is better.

Rules

Move one cell per action: up, down, left, or right. You can only move into an adjacent cell when there is no wall between the two cells (each cell carries top/right/bottom/left wall flags; a flag set to true means a wall blocks that side). Moving into a wall or off the grid is illegal and rejected with a teaching error. There is no time limit and no lose state — you win the moment you stand on the goal. The full maze wall layout is provided in the observation so you can plan a path.
