For the MODE[1000] task (TASK 10011), I have a solution (optimizing for minimum number of words) that uses both UP and DOWN (to rescan input region), but it seems I run out of test cycles before I run out of input. Is that expected, or a bug?
I think it's a bug disguised as a feature. I implemented a timer to check if you get stuck in an infinite loop, and if so, quit. I suppose a better way to do it would be to first check if you're still on the same input, or increase the maximum number of cycles. I'll fix it soon.
Just to make sure, you're not going beyond the final input before writing the final output? There's an error that clearly says "Too many cycles" or smth like that? (I don't remember anymore how exactly this game works...)
Anyhow thank you for still showing interest in this game! :)
