The ICFP2024 contest was held June29 thru July 1. The contest consisted of five parts: ICFP Language, Lambdaman maze, Starship flying, 3D - graph programming, and Efficiency - processing complex ICFP message to a numerical value.
The Lambdaman 4 maze is medium size,21x21, L near top left, '.' a cheese bit, # is Wall. Matrix uses Wall=0,L=1,Cheese=2. Encircling Walls are added to all mazes.
The contest goal was to write a minimal size, bytes, expression that moves L, Lambdaman, to eat each cheese bit.
Solve these mazes while having a total file size including comments less than 1000.
