Steptype

WHERE A LINE MAY GO NEXT, on one board: the rules of a single step, which the solver, the check, the drawing and the answer's lines all read, so a bridge or a wall means the same thing everywhere.

  • Across an open edge (no wall) to the next cell.
  • Onto a BRIDGE only to go straight over it: into the cell beyond, the same way on, never turning. Going across uses the bridge's across slot, going down its down slot; the two are crossed by two different lines.
  • Into a PORTAL cell, and so out of the other one the same way on: the step is to the cell beyond the far portal, and the line takes both portal cells on the way (through, in the order it passes them). A portal cell itself has no steps and is never where a step ends; where the cell beyond the far portal is blocked, off the board or across a wall, that way into the portal is no step at all.

Imports carry their .ts so the level script can run this under plain node.

NameTypeDescription
tonumber

The cell the line reaches.

overnumber

The bridge gone over on the way, or -1 for a plain step.

acrossboolean

throughreadonly number[]

The portal cells gone through on the way, in order: the one stepped into, then its other. Empty for a step that goes through none.

Examples

import type { Step } from "@johnmorrisdotca/tsunagi";

const value: Step = {to:1,over:-1,across:true,through:[]};
console.log(value);
{ to: 1, over: -1, across: true, through: [] }
