Hi @reggaemuffin, I never used ruby before, but I remember I solved this problem before during my studies. So I tried, at the end, the language's grammar is not so difficult to get (at least for this problem, where you need just to write a few methods 😼)

Here is my solution:

How it works:

I use the following rule: (as you can easliy see in the method next_direction)

• if possible, always turn anti-clockwise and then go forward
• if you can't, then try to just go forward (in the same direction as before)
• if you can't, try turn clockwise and the go forward
• if none of the above is possible, it means you are in a dead end (walls in front, at your left and at your right). Then just go back.

Basically, you just need to follow the wall.

I use this method all the times! I'm a cat if you didn't notice, and I find mazes all the time when I walk around 😹 . Never been stuck!

Hope you like the solution. Please consider it's the first time I write in ruby
