Not sure that's solving the shortest route? It just grows everywhere, then retracts the parts grown on the wrong routes.

I've never seen an explanation with so many obscure words in it! When I came to read the Comments, I fully expected to see many of them saying the same, but no, so many seemed to be quite familiar with the matter! Hecky-pecky!! What a well-informed lot you all are! I feel quite chastened!

jprsean, not much different to how some AI algorithms would solve it or any human IN the labyrinth with no view from the top
