I draw
^>v<characters on the grid while walking, so then it's a direct array lookup (instead of a hashtable). The representation could be better though, some kind of bitmask would beat checking against a bunch of characters.I dont change the map, i just record the steps in the hashtable. But maybe drawing on the map is indeed shaving some time off, thanks for the input :)
It probably wonβt matter a whole deal but array indexing involves no comparisons or searches. And I found it convenient too!
