Martial arts superstar Cliff Chen is on the set of his latest
movie, Won-Ton Destruction II. In the scene being filmed, Cliff battles
fighters of the infamous Taipei Blood Dragons in a warehouse full of crates of
stolen artwork. The script calls for him to escape from the Blood Dragons by
sprinting across the tops of the packing crates, toppling over some of them
along the way. Unfortunately, Cliff hasn't been able to think very clearly ever
since his last movie when the stunt with the Zamboni and the roller coaster
went horribly wrong.
Cliff remembers that he starts this scene on the
crate marked with the red square and ends on the gold crate marked with an E.
And he recalls that he moves orthogonally (never diagonally) from one crate to
another, never jumping across gaps and never touching the floor.
(Climbing crates of different heights is no problem for an acrobat like Cliff.)
As Cliff runs he topples over somes of the crates that are up on end. As a
crate topples it lands in a clear spot on the floor. And as the crate falls
Cliff jumps into the air and lands on the crate where it comes to rest. Once a
crate is toppled over it doesn't move again for the rest of the scene. Can you
help Cliff reach the crate marked E and finish filming the scene? To make your
job harder the director wants him to finish a number of takes, each with a
different arrangement of crates. (Detailed rules are presented below.)
Instructions
- To move around the warehouse, either click on the square you
want to move to or use the arrow keys. (You may have to click on the applet
first to get it to accept your keystrokes.)
- Crates can be toppled if they are up on end. These crates are
marked with a number that indicates the height of the crate.
- To topple over a crate, just move in the direction you want
the crate to fall. If there is room for it on the warehouse floor it will fall
over and you will land on its side.
- Once a crate is on its side it can't be moved again.
- A crate can only fall over if there is plenty of clear space
on the floor and the way isn't blocked by a wall or another crate.
