I've added some small memory for the player, but I'm a bit confused on how to deal with it the best way...

Maybe it's a good idea to add a bit of random movement, so you don't get stuck... But then it's not possible to measure the same way....

Please tell me what you get!
My algo completes all 3 maps fine... but that's because it searches every possible location... I still need to tweak it to avoid stupid things like that...

I scored 1246 on the second map because of it's large area to the east.
