New ranching scenario (#835)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Demo with:

    stack run -- --scenario Challenges/Ranching/gated-paddock --autoplay

The primary element of this scenario is "testing for a closed loop" in the objective condition.  As written, this test is performed every "tick", and introduces noticeable rendering lag at higher "ticks / s" speeds.

What may be better is for the player to "ask" for the condition to be checked, perhaps by standing somewhere specific, picking up a particular object, or even with `say "Ready!"`.

// Algorithm:
// ----------
// Maintain current direction until a wall is encountered.
// Then enter "wall-following mode".
// This mode presumes the wall is not a loop.
// Wall-following mode exploits recursion to keep track of how many left turns were made
// and then unwinds them again by ensuring each is paired with a right turn.
// Once the recursion is fully unwound, the robot proceeds along its original direction
// (though it may now be laterally displaced).
//
// (If it was a loop, then an "oriented breadcrumb" would need to be left.
// The breadcrumb is oriented in case a single-width passage is backtracked
// along the opposite wall.)

Since fences are "unwalkable", they do not need to be mentioned in this function.
